[Gimp-user] New plugin for merging three raw exposures.

[Ken Moffat <zarniwhoop ntlworld com>]

After getting my Scheme plugin to work (add overexposed and
underexposed versions of a raw image, to recover some shadow and
highlight detail) and working out the detail of how I then recover
from the reduced-contrast result (well duh!, G'MIC for Local contrast
enhancement), and then fine-tuning my own process, I've concluded
that it is "good enough".

It is called "Three Exposures" and sits in Filters -> Enhance.

Since the official plugin registry is no longer operational, I've
put a page at http://www.zarniwhoop.uk/three-exposures.html with
small examples of the result - each links to a series of less-small
examples to show what I did (if only as a "don't do that, then"
example for the good photographers out there). The download link is
at hte bottom of hte page.

It works with ufraw and gimp-2.8: if people on windows or mac can
convert their raw images to xcf (or uncompressed png) files then it
should work for them too - but it's only tested on linux.

And as I note on the page, it does not work with 2.9.
