In other words, with the simple curve adjustment one has to balance
between a flat looking image or burned highlights/shadows. Enfuse can
help to increase local contrast, while keeping both shadows and
highlights.

It is time consuming to do it for more images manually, so having it
semi-automated plugin would be nice.
