Lightroom Enfuse Ghosting / Blurring issue

I've been using Enfuse for some time now for real estate photography, and I'm having some troubles now...I just picked up a new computer, so I had to reinstall Lightroom and the Enfuse plugin, and both seem to be working just fine. I'm taking photos with a Canon 5D and a very stable tripod, so there is no shake or blurriness at all. However, when the photos go through the whole Enfuse process, they look how they should for the most part, except for one issue - they seem to have this kinda blurry effect in some areas, as if the images aren't aligned.

Does anyone know what the issue could be here? I haven't uninstalled / reinstalled it yet, perhaps I'll try that, but I'm puzzled as to why it's not working like it did before. Any help/input would be much appreciated!

Is it possible that you have applied a lens correction in Lightroom to some but not all of the bracketed images? I ask because I have made this mistake before and ended up with a similar result.

I'm having the same issue.

I've been using LightRoom Classic and Enfuse for several years. It wasn't until I upgraded LRC to v 11.3.1 when I had issues with blurred Enfused images.

After I stack my images (for exposure), select the images in one stack, use the "Transform" tool to auto align the images in the stack, the final Enfused image comes out blurry.

I've tried the solutions listed in this conversation but still getting the blurred images. Looks like the newer version of Lightroom Classic does not align images in the same stack like the older version of LRC. Is there an easy work around...or???

What "Transform" tool within LrClassic? Or, did you mean LR/Enfuse's own Alignment option? I suggest, rely on one, or the other, not both. If setting this within LR/Enfuse then supply un-cropped, un-rotated and un-Transformed input. It's OK I think to apply Lens Correction but I suggest deferring perspective or compositional changes. You can apply those things nondestructively, later, onto the fused result image.

In the Develop Module, there is a section named "TRANSFORM" in the right rail. Under that, you can select, Off, Auto, Guided, Level, Vertical, Full. Prior to selecting one of these options, under the "Lens Correction" section, I select "Enable Profile Corrections" and "Auto Sync". Then after I make color/exposure/white balance, etc corrections, I Enfuse the images. The Enfused images all come out blurry (note that my RAW files are not blurry - they are all fine). I also noted that after importing my bracketed exposures (5 for example) into LRc, I can see slight alignment issues with each image within the 5 bracketed shots. Previous versions of LightRoom Classic have worked fine. It wasn't until I upgraded to 11.3.1 when I had the blurred issues. Is there going to be a fix for this?

Try Enfuse with the below Auto Align option checked. If still the same please post a screenshot showing the blurring.

Thanks for the reply, that's exactly what I thought the issue could be...I've tried it with both on and off several times, and I keep getting the exact same result. Here are a few examples, cropped down to where the blurring is happening...

Any help is much appreciated!
