Enblend

This release introduces Enfuse, a new tool for
simplified HDR image creation. Enfuse merges
differently exposed images into a nice output
image, without going through the complex steps of
intermediate HDR file creation and tonemapping.
Enfuse can also be used to create extended
depth-of-field focus stacks. This release also
includes minor feature enhancements and bugfixes
for Enblend.

This release features faster image processing
computations and a
new seam line optimization algorithm. Masks can
now be saved and
loaded from files, color blending can be done with
the CIECAM02 color
appearance model, and the graphics processor can
be leveraged for higher
performance.

This release fixes bugs in version 2.4. An error
when using the -w parameter has been fixed, as
well as an error where Enblend would say "mask
transition line bounding box undefined."

This release adds a few new features. Enblend now
supports the cropped and shifted TIFF files
produced by Nona's "Multiple TIFF" stitching
option. Also, ICC profile data in the input images
are preserved in the output file. Finally, some
minor speed improvements have been made to the
mask generation algorithm.

This release fixes bugs in the 2.2 release. The number of levels you can specify with the -l parameter has been reduced from 30 to 29 to avoid an arithmetic overflow. On the Windows version, improved handling of temporary files should fix the "unable to open temporary file" bug.
