It's "rvu" now ... ;)

If you just want to see everything on your pictures pass them
through pcond(1) using the -h (human visual response) switch.
You can't compare two of them afterwards, of course.

If you want to create compareable pictures you could pcomb(1) a
selection of your images (i. e. 16 scatterd throughout your
animation) and find an average value for the exposure on this
big image. Use this value for all the smaller images.

I could send you an image of one of this combined renderings.
I have no website to make it available to the group, though.
