Public bug reported:

When blending a set of 16bit TIFF images, I noticed artifacts in the
output. Depending on the enfuse setting used, these occur in different
places and look different. When I used the default setting, the
artifacts looked like groups of coloured dots (see
enfuse_problem_fused_default.tif) and when I used exposure only, they
came as single pixels (see enfuse_problem_fused_only_exposure.tif), also
see the respective jpg screenshots where the artifacts are enlarged. The
images were created by hugin's nona, I tried several sizes and also the
original unmodified images, the effects were the same. The 16bit TIFFs
were created by digiKam's batch RAW import from Canon CR2, using
conversion to 16bit and storage as TIFF as the only active processing
steps. I converted the images to JPG with gimp, and when I fused the
JPGs, there was no problem. I also opened the images with fotoxx and
saved them in a different file but the same format, in which case the
problem persisted. I suspect the problem may stem from the 16bit format.
Here's my session which produced the flawed results:

>enfuse enfuse_problem_[0-2].tif -o enfuse_problem_fused_default.tif
enfuse: info: loading next image: enfuse_problem_0.tif 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: enfuse_problem_1.tif 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: enfuse_problem_2.tif 1/1
>enfuse enfuse_problem_[0-2].tif --saturation-weight=0 -o enfuse_problem_fused_only_exposure.tif
enfuse: info: loading next image: enfuse_problem_0.tif 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: enfuse_problem_1.tif 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: enfuse_problem_2.tif 1/1

>enfuse --version
enfuse 4.1-101796703d73

I use a Kubuntu 11.4 system on an intel processor. Find enclosed a tar
file of the files in this session.
