    Thanks Jason. I am dissecting the code and the script but that takes time. I thing I have enough parts for at least 5 kits but will double check.

      Funnily enough, the standard 8 footage from the sixties seems to fare much better on my Wolverine than super 8 from a decade or so later.

      I have no idea why...
      Thank you John. Was the footage stored properly and was it different brand. That is what I notice with some of my film.

      • Great work Bruce. That looks great. Mattias just used the defaults and I did the same but your results look very encouraging. Looks like it is worth spending some time and understanding the code and algorithms used.

          Hi All, good to see so much activity, I was just playing around with Photomatix HDR and used two of Stan's images 811.tiff 812.tiff, with standard settings in Photomatrix ans selected the Natural option.
          By the way Stan the images I downloaded from https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...zT00JewKQT0GhS are actually in BMP format not TIFF.
          looks good i have tested Photomatrix some time ago but on my camera captures it did not work so good the same time i did test this program and it´s free http://software.bergmark.com/enfuseGUI/Main.html there is a command line tool version of it to if i remember it did work little better for me

          then there is this free plug in for Final Cut Pro X https://blog.alex4d.com/2012/12/18/a...c-lantern-hdr/

          last night i did try to do the hdr of Stan's image sequence in Final Cut 7 maybe i post something about it if i get it to work good

            having watched your upload, I think you need to adjust the sharpness to medium. It is instinctively natural to opt for the high setting as we desire to maximise the quality but the high setting is simply too much. Also, the whites on the film seem a little bleached to me. I would adjust the exposure down to minus 1. Keep the picture as small as possible and don't use the inbuilt cropping tool as this causes deterioration to the picture.

            A very nice man named James G Brown has a thread on the forum which links to a tool he has developed to adjust the speed of the film and to crop the unwanted edges. It is invaluable.
            Thank you so much for your insight John. I will have a look around for that thread.

            • Enfuse version 4.2 works very good on Stan´s image sequence HDR you can download it here http://enblend.sourceforge.net/enfus...ml/enfuse.html

              it´s a command line tool here is the code

              Code:
              enfuse.exe --soft-mask --exposure-weight=1.0 --saturation-weight=0.2 --contrast-weight=0.0 --entropy-weight=0.0 --exposure-optimum=0.4 --exposure-width=0.2 -v -o "D:\output\output.tif" "D:\ODD\image10.tiff" "D:\EVEN\image10.tiff"
              if you change --exposure-optimum=0.4 to 0.5 then it looks like the Photomatix output



              here is my .bat file code loop for image sequence image1.tiff image2.tiff image3.tiff and so on to image452.tiff

              Code:
              SET Input_PATCH1=D:\EVEN
              SET Input_PATCH2=D:\ODD
              SET OUTPUT_PATCH=D:\output
              
              
              SET start=1
              SET end=452
              
              
              FOR /L %%i IN (%start%,1,%end%) DO (CALL :loopbody "%%i")
              GOTO :eof
              
              
              :loopbody
              enfuse.exe --soft-mask --exposure-weight=1.0 --saturation-weight=0.2 --contrast-weight=0.0 --entropy-weight=0.0 --exposure-optimum=0.4 --exposure-width=0.2 -v -o "%OUTPUT_PATCH%\image%1.tiff" "%Input_PATCH1%\image%1.tiff" "%Input_PATCH2%\image%1.tiff"
              GOTO :eof

              but Enfuse does not work good at all on my camera captures looks very bad that is very strange have to try more settings

              • You hit the nail on the head Mattias. Wow, that made a big difference.

                  Stan, Question, how does the mod do with skin tones? The existing Wolverine Standard and Pro camera sometimes gives a yellowish tint. Assuming with that new camera it would give a more natural tone.

                    Nice very good

                    im trying to get Enfuse 4.2 to work with my camera capture files but it does not work good i thought first that it was the sprocket hole but that was not it i think i have to big step on my High and Low exposure capture
                    for me right now Avisynth HDR script works best

                      I was checking for a face closeup in my videos. Here is one of them of my cousin. To be fair, Wolverine can be probably tweaked a bit to give a better tone but will never match the Hawkeye.

                      • Mattias, Avisynth improves my clips also but Enfuse is definitely better. Will try a few more videos.

                          ok i have been playing with avisynth and my own captures and i did get better colors now i did add gamma tweak at the input in avisynth like this

                          Code:
                          a=ImageSource("F:\LOW_exposure\image%d.ppm",start=1,end=3662,fps=18).RGBAdjust(rg=1.4, gg=1.4, bg=1.4).ConvertToYUY2()
                          b=ImageSource("F:\HIGH_exposure\image%d.ppm",start=1,end=3662,fps=18).RGBAdjust(rg=1.4, gg=1.4, bg=1.4).ConvertToYUY2()

                          RGBAdjust(rg=1.4, gg=1.4, bg=1.4) default is RGBAdjust(rg=1.0, gg=1.0, bg=1.0) i think when i use the Fast gpu debayer the gamma is very low but that pump on the gamma was very good for my camera captures now i maybe must redo my films

                          and i did only use HDRAGC only on the LOW_exposure inside HDR1 function at the beginning

                            Impressive to say the least. All the necessary software is linked on this forum, correct? Also, does the software work with Windows 7 OS?

                            • Hi Mattias, your results with Enfuse are very good.

                              Hi Jason, the original DFM 72BUC02-ML camera used with Hawkeye does have a more bluish tint if you look at the background, the Wolverine although darker does seem to have a better overall colour balance, but then you were only interested in skin tone. If you are going to upgrade your Wolverine it might be worthwhile looking at the Sony board cameras, yes they are more expensive, but better colour balance.

                              ​​​​​​​Regards - Bruce
