Compared to the price of Photoshop they are quite affordable. The good thing is that none of these programs are really expensive and so having one or more is certainly an option. I think that several tools would be good to have in the toolbox. A lot depends on what you want to get out of HDR imaging and how much time you are willing to use to generate the image. They all handle different scenes in a different manner. The overall conclusion is there is not one superior stand out program, at least in my opinion.

Well I figured most people might want to see this up front, for whatever reason, and if you really wanted to know you would read the rest of it. You are probably wondering why this is not at the end. I will really consider capturing in hdr for panoramas in the future as part of a normal cycle. I have also been testing hdr for panorama generation and I am finding that to be an extremely good use of hdr imaging. One thing I did not cover in this tome is the realm of panoramas. Also the low cost of memory cards certainly makes capturing large brackets of images a lot more practical.

I plan to do a full test of different methods of capturing and compare then against a single image with lots of image manipulation. Good image capture is fundamental to good hdr images. This is not always possible due to changing light conditions, weather and other reasons.

A better approach would have been to take a series of test exposures and determined the entire range and best spacing and then captured the sequence. In both cases of the Laguna Beach Sunset and the Pasadena City Hall I did not capture the full dynamic range of the image because I did not watch my histogram. Without examining the histograms while exposing this is probably the way to go to capture the full range in an image without studying the captures. The 1D Mark II was setup to capture 7 exposure brackets, this is setup in the personal functions. What I have learned from this is that I need to go back and look more at my image captures, in most cases I did not capture the entire dynamic range of the image, especially with only 3 exposures.

This comparison was a real learning experience, and is not really a comparison of whether or not hdr is the best way to capture images, it is a comparison of the software out there and compares them on equal footing.

Taking HDR images is a 4 step process, image acquisition, generating the HDR image, tone mapping the HDR image, and finally post processing. In other words it should be something thought out and planned rather than shotgunned. Ghosting can occur with any kind of movement between frames, water ripples, tree branches, people moving around, something to consider when deciding to make an HDR image. I highly recommend using a tripod with hdr, yes you can can hand hold it, but expect to spend a lot of time being frustrated with trying to edit out ghosting and other artifacts. The biggest hurdle and this is true with any kind of photography, you have to start with good images and use good techniques to capture them. I learned a lot, but there is still a lot to learn. Stick with traditional methods, graduated neutral density filters and other such techniques.įirst, a disclaimer, I am by no means an expert when it comes to HDR imaging.

If you do not like to edit and deal with editing, then HDR is not for you. As a side note, all images generated using HDR techniques will need some sort of post-processing, usually in Photoshop or your favorite image editor. They all work differently and have different methods of generation, so what I did was come up with three sets of test images, and run them through the software and tried to make them as pleasing as possible. My review is mostly subjective it is pretty much all you can do when evaluating the software. I also tried most, if not all, the software packages out there. I read three books on the subject, which will have mini reviews below. I, myself, was very intrigued with the possibilities of increasing dynamic range beyond what could be captured with a single shot. High Dynamic Range Imaging or HDR or HDRI is becoming popular and it is also a very polarized topic, it is usually loved or hated, depending on the person.
