PC: Win 10 x64 System with Intous 5
Sys: Intel i7-2720QM @2.20Ghz x 4 core/8 thread, 8GB RAM (DDR3)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M, 1GB, OpenGL v4.5, OpenCL v1.1
- Color Space defaults to Display color space
- It asks for up to 10GB but relies on system allocation
- System allocates up to 6GB (which is free) out of 8GB
- Releases and asks for memory continually, no memory leaks noticed
- HDR Merge with 3 x 5DsR (size 8688x5792) images is quite slow
- Without Remove Ghosts ~ 3:15 minutes to merge, another 7:15 minutes to start the Tone Mapping process
- Save document (afphoto) results in 1.33GB file and takes ~4 minutes to tonemap & save
- HDR Merge with 3 x 5D Mk3 (size 5616x3744) images is faster
- With Remove Ghosts ~ 4:45 minutes to merge, another 3:45 minutes to start the Tone Mapping process
- Save document (afphoto) results in 560MB file and takes ~1:30 minutes to tonemap & save
Note that with other HDR applications I get the following timings:
- HDR Merge with 3 x 5DsR (size 8688x5792) images
- With manual Remove Ghosts ~ 1:30 minutes to merge, deghost and start the Tone Mapping process
- Save document (TIFF) results in 280MB file and takes ~1 minutes to tonemap & save
Comments on this process:
1. Overall it is quite a slow process, would like to see some improvement
2. Alignment, ghost removal and tonemapping is excellent
3. Would like to be able to process images in alternative color spaces
4. Would like to save in an alternative format other than afphoto
