4.1.2 Batch Processing Settings
Use the Settings buttons to access HDR generation,
Tone Mapping, and Exposure Fusion settings. Refer to
Sections 3 and 4 for a description of these settings.
The following settings for generating HDR images are
specic to batch processing:
• Force Exposure Values spacing to: Forces the
EV spacing to the specied value. This option can
be used when the exposure information is not
available in the EXIF data, if two or more images
have the same exposure information, or to force
the EV spacing in all cases. In the latter case, the
exposure information in the EXIF data is ignored.
• Source images are linear (no tone curve
applied): Intended for 16-bit TIFF les that have
been converted from RAW les with a RAW
converter that allows the image to be left in linear
space. Very few RAW converters allow this, so
only check this option if you are sure that the
tonal values of the images are linear relative to the
values of light captured.
• Process strip by strip: Check this option if the
source images are large TIFF les. With this option, the
HDR image le is created in several passes, processing and
loading only one strip of each image into memory at a time.
One strip is composed of a limited number of rows set to
not exceed approximately 512 MB of RAM. This option is
particularly useful when processing large panoramas. Note,
though, that the alignment functions are not accessible
when the “Process strip by strip” option is used.

The term “linear” may have a different meaning
depending on the RAW converter. For example,
in Adobe Camera RAW, linear is relative to the
Adobe RGB color space and not to the values
of light. Therefore, do not select this option with
les converted with Photoshop or Lightroom.
