That would include chewing on the raw digital noise in RAW files, and
lacking the sharpening that said files most likely need.
Hugin support for EXR files would be great.

This would be nice, to have align_image_stack and enfuse chewing raw
files instead of intermediates.

Dear all!
In my last post I have already hinted at new possibilities arising
from the use of OpenImageIO (OIIO for short). I found that it's
quite feasible to use OIIO's image importing code as a stand-in
for vigra's importImage. Now I've gone one step further and
refitted some hugin tools with OIIO code: pto_gen and cpfind. For
pto_gen, I have just changed the retrieval of image metrics to use
OIIO, but in cpfind I have also changed the image import code.
With the modified tools, I could run a tool chain from a set of
RAW images to a readily-optimized PTO file by using first the
modified pto_gen, then the modified cpfind and finally
autooptimiser. The resulting PTO could be loaded into my recent
build of lux (the build from the oiio branch, for which I offered
an AppImage in my last post) which also employs OIIO and can
process RAW images as input. lux stitched this PTO into a seamless
panorama.
All of this was possible without any intermediate TIFF files on
disk - OIIO handles the loading and processing of RAW images
in-library using libRAW and presents the readily-converted data. I
think with this little experiment I have established that OIIO
would make a good candidate to replace vigra's ageing impex
library - OIIO can also handle newer formats like HEIF and webp,
among many others. Since the swapping-in of OIIO code for vigra
code is quite painless, one might assume that the entire hugin
software collection could be refitted like this, bringing hugin
up-to-date with newer file formats and adding RAW support.
