Lr/enfuse Tutorials
Here is his answer: I ran a comparison speed test of a five bracket sequence via LR/Enfuse and Photomatix both via their respective Lightroom plugins. Enfuse took just over one minute and Photomatix was about ten seconds faster! With Photomatix, you have to monitor the process as a secondary menu control panel appears once the bracketed images. Solved: I want to install Enfuse via plugin manager though there is no option in the 'file' menu?? SOLUTION: To make Lightroom faster, open the “Edit” menu and press “Standard Preview size” or use the Ctrl+ Alt+ key combinations to achieve the same result. You have to remember that you’re setting this size only for the specific catalog that is open right now, so repeat this action several times for other folders. The first one will be Lightroom’s built-in “Merge to HDR” followed by the Enfuse plug-in. Note: Ignore the ghosting – I didn’t address it in any of these examples. Above: Lightroom’s Merge to HDR feature. Above: Same images merged using the “Enfuse” plug-in. Above: The same image with Lightroom Merge to HDR but with the AUTO.

Hope you are all doing well!
I have been using LR Enfuse in my daily workflow for about a year now. It's a great tool that I wouldn't want to live without it.
Since I started using LR Enfuse, I've always had an unsolvable problem that I hope to solve here so I can speed up my workflow.
First, My computer is custom built:
MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
Intel i7 4770 (Logical processor count: 8)
16gb Ram
GTX 660
Windows 8.1 Business Edition
SSD for OS and programs.
Externals for storage.
LR 5.5
Enfuse 4.31
It's very quick, and can handle an 'Enfuse' within seconds. I've also accomplished a 50 image blend once, just to see how many I could process without getting an error.
Here is how it's set up.
In the Configuration Tab:
'Use application hosted by the Photographers Toolbox' is selected.
'Enfuse 4 for newer processors ans Align_Image_Stack' is selected.
My Temporary Files is set to a folder on my SSD.
I am also running Lightroom as an administrator.
Auto Align Tab:
Both options are disabled.
Enfuse Tab:
Exposure Weight: 1.00
Saturation Weight: .20
Contrast: Was 0.00, now 0.02 (see below)
No Extra Command Line Parameters Added.
No. Levels - Automatic
Contrast Window Size: 5
Output Tab:
Destination: Custom Folder
Filename: Use
Format: Tiff
Compression: None
Bit Depth: 16bits
Colour Space: Prophoto
Reimport: Disabled
Open File: Disabled
Copy Meta: Enabled
Except: None checked.
Registration Code is Checked Green.
Check for Updates Says I have the Latest Version. 4.31
Here is the Error and how I get it.
If I load one (3..., 8..., 50... images doesn't matter how many) 'blend' into LREnfuse, it works without a problem. However, if I load a second one, before the first one finishes, I get this error 'An internal error has occurred: ./LRLib_DebugLog.lua:167: attempt to index local 'handle' (a nil value)'. Without rhyme or reason, I'll also get this error while doing the same thing (loading two or more blends simultaneously) 'An internal error has occurred: ./LREnfuse.lua:709: attempt to index local 'handle' (a nil value)'
I have changed the Error reporting options (trying different combos) in the 'Plug-in Manager' dashboard as well as in the 'Configuration Tab' of the blend window. Perhaps the different errors are because of the different options chosen???
This error, is given when I have 'Do not log Debug Info' selected in the Plug-in Mananger.
This error is giving when I have 'Log debug info to a file...' selected.
This is one of those Debug Errors. First two lines are about Contrast Weight.

This is the same error, but after I changed 'Contrast Weight' to 0.02 from 0.00. 'Contrast Window Size' as always been set to 5.
View attachment LR ENFUSE ERROR 3.txt
Does anyone have info on Error '167'? Or what the text file says, 'Warning: no TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT or TIFFTAG_DATATYPE, guessing pixeltype 'UINT16'.'
I searched the 'Warning: no TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT or TIFFTAG_DATATYPE, guessing pixeltype 'UINT16'.' error and found this from 2006. http://sourceforge.net/p/ufraw/bugs/26/ But it's over my head in terms of how to fix it.
I know Tim is a busy guy; btw, I love the concept of The Touch, perhaps a Windows version will show up soon. I have sent him a few emails with the same details with no response, and even asked Jeffery Friedl what he suggested. Jeffery, kindly responed, 'it'd be better to find out why the Enfuse invocation is dying. Drop the Lr/Enfuse author (Timothy Armes <emailwashere>) a note to ask about running multiple invocations in parallel...'.
Any further help would be so appreciated!
