NAME

enblend – manual page for enblend 4.1.1

SYNOPSIS

enblend [options] [–output=IMAGE] INPUT…

DESCRIPTION

Blend INPUT images into a single IMAGE.

INPUT… are image filenames or response filenames. Response filenames start with an "@" character.

Common options:

-V, –version: output version information and exit
-a: pre-assemble non-overlapping images
-h, –help: print this help message and exit
-l, –levels=LEVELS: limit number of blending LEVELS to use (1 to 29); negative number of LEVELS decreases maximum; "auto" restores the default automatic maximization
-o, –output=FILE: write output to FILE; default: "a.tif"
-v, –verbose[=LEVEL]: verbosely report progress; repeat to increase verbosity or directly set to LEVEL
-w, –wrap[=MODE]: wrap around image boundary, where MODE is "none", "horizontal", "vertical", or "both"; default: none; without argument the option selects horizontal wrapping
-x: checkpoint partial results
–compression=COMPRESSION: set compression of output image to COMPRESSION, where COMPRESSION is: "deflate", "jpeg", "lzw", "none", "packbits", for TIFF files and 0 to 100, or "jpeg", "jpeg-arith" for JPEG files, where "jpeg" and "jpeg-arith" accept a compression level
–layer-selector=ALGORITHM: set the layer selector ALGORITHM; default: "all-layers"; available algorithms are: "all-layers": select all layers in all images; "first-layer": select only first layer in each multi-layer image; "largest-layer": select largest layer in each multi-layer image; "no-layer": do not select any layer from any image;
–parameter=KEY1[=VALUE1][:KEY2[=VALUE2][:…]]: set one or more KEY-VALUE pairs

Extended options:

-b BLOCKSIZE: image cache BLOCKSIZE in kilobytes; default: 2048KB
-c, –ciecam: use CIECAM02 to blend colors; disable with "–no-ciecam"
–fallback-profile=PROFILE-FILE: use the ICC profile from PROFILE-FILE instead of sRGB
-d, –depth=DEPTH: set the number of bits per channel of the output image, where DEPTH is "8", "16", "32", "r32", or "r64"
-g: associated-alpha hack for Gimp (before version 2) and Cinepaint
–gpu: use graphics card to accelerate seam-line optimization
-f WIDTHxHEIGHT[+xXOFFSET+yYOFFSET]: manually set the size and position of the output image; useful for cropped and shifted input TIFF images, such as those produced by Nona
-m CACHESIZE: set image CACHESIZE in megabytes; default: 1024MB

Mask generation options:

–primary-seam-generator=ALGORITHM: use main seam finder ALGORITHM, where ALGORITHM is "nearest-feature-transform" or "graph-cut"; default: "nearest-feature-transform"
–image-difference=ALGORITHM[:LUMINANCE-WEIGHT[:CHROMINANCE-WEIGHT]]: use ALGORITHM for calculation of the difference image, where ALGORITHM is "max-hue-luminance" or "delta-e"; LUMINANCE-WEIGHT and CHROMINANCE-WEIGHT define the weights of lightness and color; default: delta-e:1: 1
–coarse-mask[=FACTOR] shrink overlap regions by FACTOR to speedup mask: generation; this is the default; if omitted FACTOR defaults to 8
–fine-mask: generate mask at full image resolution; use e.g. if overlap regions are very narrow
–smooth-difference=RADIUS: (deprecated) smooth the difference image prior to seam-line optimization with a Gaussian blur of RADIUS; default: 0 pixels
–optimize: turn on mask optimization; this is the default
–no-optimize: turn off mask optimization
–optimizer-weights=DISTANCE-WEIGHT[:MISMATCH-WEIGHT]: set the optimizer’s weigths for distance and mismatch; default: 8:1
–mask-vectorize=LENGTH: set LENGTH of single seam segment; append "%" for relative value; defaults: 4 for coarse masks and 20 for fine masks
–anneal=TAU[:DELTAE-MAX[:DELTAE-MIN[:K-MAX]]]: set annealing parameters of optimizer strategy 1; defaults: 0.75:7000:5:32
–dijkstra=RADIUS: set search RADIUS of optimizer strategy 2; default: 25 pixels
–save-masks[=TEMPLATE]: save generated masks in TEMPLATE; default: "mask-%n.tif"; conversion chars: "%i": mask index, "%n": mask number, "%p": full path, "%d": dirname, "%b": basename, "%f": filename, "%e": extension; lowercase characters refer to input images uppercase to the output image
–load-masks[=TEMPLATE]: use existing masks in TEMPLATE instead of generating them; same template characters as "–save-masks"; default: "mask-%n.tif"
–visualize[=TEMPLATE] save results of optimizer in TEMPLATE; same template: characters as "–save-masks"; default: "vis-%n.tif"

Enblend accepts arguments to any option in uppercase as well as in lowercase letters.
