101. Introduction
11---------------------------------------------------------------------
12Translations can be managed either using the classical Qt approach or
13the Transifex (www.transifex.com) online platform.
14
15The Qt approach is implemented using a CMake option (UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS). If this
16is set to true, then the translations in the i18n directory are updated (using Qt's lupdate).
17
18In the following section the operations using the online platform are described.

212. Operations
22---------------------------------------------------------------------
23First, download the Transifex Client, available for Windows, Linux, Mac.
24
25Open a command shell and navigate (CD) into the i18n directory of Luminance HDR.
26
27The first time you use the client you need to initialize it with your credentials.
28Therefore type:
29> tx init
30
31If after an lupdate you want to update the strings online, you do
32> tx push -s -t
33
34In order to download the translated strings do
35> tx pull -a
36
37More options for each operation is available in the help
38> tx help
39or
40> tx help push

18What it is
19----------
20Luminance HDR is a graphical user interface (based on the Qt5 toolkit) that provides a complete workflow for HDR imaging.
21
22Supported HDR formats:
23* OpenEXR (extension: exr)
24* Radiance RGBE (extension: hdr)
25* Tiff formats: 16bit, 32bit (float) and LogLuv (extension: tiff)
26* Raw image formats (extension: various)
27* PFS native format (extension: pfs)
28
29Supported LDR formats:
30* JPEG, PNG, PPM, PBM, TIFF, FITS
31
32Supported features:
33* Create an HDR file from a set of images (JPEG, TIFF 8bit and 16bit, RAW)
34of the same scene taken at different exposure setting
35* Save and load HDR files
36* Rotate and resize HDR files
37* Tonemap HDR images
38* Projective Transformations
39* Copy EXIF data between sets of images
40* Supports internationalization
41
42Raw image formats are supported - and treated as HDR - thanks to [LibRAW](http://www.libraw.org/).

44Make sure you read the "Dependencies" Section in the INSTALL file. If you intend to make a package for a GNU/Linux distribution, please refer to the same file for more information.
45
46The code is in part based on the existing open source packages:
47- "pfstools", "pfstmo" and "pfscalibration" by Grzegorz Krawczyk and Rafal Mantiuk
48- "qpfstmo", by Nicholas Phillips.
49
50Without their contribution all of this would have not been possible.
