Created attachment 120587 [details] DebugView report--text SUMMARY Successfully stacked images from one set of bracketed images. Stacked images failed when attempting to select six images--three each for two bracketed sets. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Selected 3 bracketed images, used stacked images, success. 2. Selected nine other bracketed images, used stacked images showing all nine images. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Operation failed. EXPECTED RESULT Hoped for automatic selection among multiple bracketed images so that I could run the operation on 30+ images, each represented by 3 bracketed images. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Win 10 Pro ADDITIONAL INFORMATION all images were Canon Raw CR2 Console report attached
A quick test here on Linux shows no problems with 9 images. The tool "align_image_stack.exe" has a normal return code in its log and does not seem to have processed all images. I have to check if the maximum command line length under Windows is sufficient for all images with paths. Maik
Maik, Check also the maxx number of characters for a command line under Windows. I remember that i faced this kind of problem in the past. If file path are long this can introduce a dysfunction. Gilles
I can not reproduce the problem here. A windows command line length is 8KB large, the maximum length of a file path is 255 characters. The 8KB buffer is not really much, but is enough for 16 images with long file names without problems. Probably one must times 2 arithmetic, since Windows internally UTF-16 uses. With 16 images, I already use many doubly, but "align_image_stack.exe" creates all TIF output images in the TEMP directory. Your TEMP space is sufficient? Maik
FYI: when I use Skylum's Aurora HDR 2019, I can drop numerous images and even the entire folder to the batch system. Aurora has been accurate every time in recognizing all groups of three images, and has produced HDR output for each of them. It seems to me that system resources are OK. I was expecting something like this from DigiKam. Is there a setting within DigiKam that I should change? James M.

Of course there are programs that specialize in the processing of HDR images. The ExpoBlending tool in digiKam does not batch process different images. The images you add are processed to an output image. I also do not think that we will change that in the near future, it would be a major change that would take a lot of time. Maik
