4.1.3 Batch Processing Subfolders
When your bracketed series are located in multiple folders, they can
all be processed in one run, provided they are in subfolders of the
same parent folder. To batch process multiple subfolders, check the
Process subfolders option at bottom of the Source frame on the
Batch Processing dialog and select sequentially. When “Process
subfolders sequentially” is selected, the batch will process the bracketed image les in one subfolder and
then move on to the next subfolder, all of which are contained in the main parent folder.
Processing Series of Photos with Varying Numbers of Exposures
When your bracketed sets are composed of varying numbers of exposures, you can use “Process subfolders
sequentially” to combine the exposures in these sets in one batch run. Place each set in a separate subfolder,
group the subfolders under a parent folder, select Process subfolders sequentially and select All from the
pull-down menu for the number of images to process at one time.
Grouped by Exposures Option
If you are processing bracketed photos that will be part of a panorama, you may nd it useful to be able to
organize your photos in such a way that all exposures of the same levels are in the same folder. Let’s take as
an example a panorama composed of four views that need to be stitched, with each view having been taken
under three exposures: -2, 0, +2. You will then have 12 photos, and may need to place them in three separate
subfolders composed of four photos each as follows:
• Subfolder1 contains the four photos for the panorama taken at EV -2
• Subfolder2 contains the four photos for the panorama taken at EV 0
• Subfolder3 contains the four photos for the panorama taken at EV +2
If you check “Process subfolders” and select “grouped by exposures”, the batch will combine the rst le
of Subfolder1 with the rst le of Subfolder2 and the rst le of Subfolder3. The batch will then combine the
second le of Subfolder1 with the second le of Subfolder2 and the second
le of Subfolder3, and so on for the third and fourth le of each subfolder.
Note
All of the subfolders must be contained
in the main parent folder for this option
to work properly.
4.1.4 Advanced Options
The following items are accessed when you click Advanced and click
Options to congure automatic selection of bracketed image les.
Click Automatically detect the number of bracketed frames when
processing a folder that contains les in addition to those in the set
of bracketed frames or when the number of frames in the set varies.
Photomatix Pro uses the metadata from the image les to perform
automatic detection.
• Specify a range using the two drop-down lists to automatically
detect the number of bracketed frames.
• Move the Maximum time between two bracketed frames slider
right or left to allow more or less time (read from the metadata).
Min is ½ second and max is 64 seconds.
Click Select only part of the frames in bracketed set to load only selected frames from a bracketed set.
• Specify the total number of frames in each set using the drop-down list.
• Select the specic frames to process from the list. Select more than one le by holding down the Ctrl key
and clicking on the desired frames.
