💅 pfsinme — read multi-exposure image files so you can merge them into an HDR image ✨

okay so real talk, this one is a page from the General Commands Manual (that's the manual name, bestie, keep it in mind for the sign-off 🎀) and it's genuinely one of the more useful little gremlins in the pfstools family.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pfsinme — read image files that contain multiple exposures, the ones you're gonna merge into an HDR image.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pfsinme <file> [<file>]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Use this program to read multiple exposure JPEG or RAW images. That's literally its whole job and it ate. 🔥

The output of this command should be piped to pfshdrcalibrate — either to recover a camera response or to merge the images into an HDR image. So the vibe is: pfsinme feeds, pfshdrcalibrate slays.

All listed files must be the same type — meaning no mixing JPEG and RAW images together, that's not allowed, periodt. 🚫 You can use wildcards though, so go off with your *.jpg.

This command is a convenience wrapper for jpeg2hdrgen, dcraw2hdrgen and pfsinhdrgen — it skips the step of generating an hdrgen file for you. It's giving main character energy so you don't have to do the boring parts. 💅

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

pfsinme *.jpg | pfsrotate -r | pfshdrcalibrate -s response.m -v

Read all JPEG images in the current directory, rotate them and merge into an HDR image. iconic behavior honestly. 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

The command cannot handle files with a space in the file name because of the pfsinhdrgen limitation. so my photo.jpg? not today, bestie. 😭

Please report bugs and comments on implementation to the discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/pfstools — they'll appreciate you fr fr 🙏

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this was pfsinme(1) from the General Commands Manual, dated/wrapped up right here at the end with a little pfsinme(1) signature because the footer said so and the footer is the moment. 🦋✨
