VII - Batch Processing
The Batch Processing function works with differently exposed images and is detailed below. In some
cases, you may be interested in processing a single file, tone mapping an already produced HDR
image for instance. This is possible with the function “Single File Conversion”.
The Batch Processing function does the following:
·
Browses in alphabetical order all files present in the specified folder(s)
·
Loads N files at a time. N is a parameter that you have specified. For example, N should be set to
3 if your bracketed shots consist of 3 frames, i.e. you have taken 3 different exposures for each
view.
·
Runs the specified process(es) on the N files loaded.
·
Saves the result of each process under the specified folder and in the specified format. The name
of the saved file starts with the prefix "Set" to which the number of sequence is appended
followed by the name of the process.
·
Repeats the above points with the next N files.
To automatically process differently exposed images:
1.
On the Automate menu, click Batch Processing.
2.
On the PROCESS frame, select the process(es) you want to run.
3.
On the combo box at the bottom of the PROCESS frame, select the number of multiple exposures
to be combined (see note below). For example, select 3 if your bracketed shots consist of 3
frames, i.e. you have taken for each view one photo at median exposure, one underexposed and
one overexposed.
4.
On the Source subframe, select the location of the folder where your base images are. The batch
will browse the files of this folder in alphabetical order. It will process N files at a time, N being the
number you have specified in step 2.
5.
Click inside the Include subfolders checkbox if you want to process the files listed under the
subfolders of the folder you have selected in step 3.
6.
On the Destination subframe, click inside the Select option if you want to save the results under
another folder than the folder containing your base images. If you have chosen the option Same
as source, then the batch will create a subfolder with the name "PhotomatixResults" and will
store the computed images under this folder.
7.
On the Save as type combo box, select the image format you want for the resulting images. If
you have chosen to save in the JPEG format, then select the JPEG quality you want in the JPEG
quality combo box.
8.
Click on the Run button to start the automatic batch processing.
