You may remember that back in the dark ages of technology (six months ago), Google purchased Nik Software . The reason many guessed at the time was because of the Snapseed app that Nik had developed. Heck, I even wrote Three Big Reasons for Google to Buy Corel and Some Small Ones . There doesn't...

In the last few weeks I've given you a number of options for creating HDR images. Previously I've covered ReDynamix which provides a low-cost option. There are two free packages, Luminance and PictureNaut . And there has been a couple of high-end options, HDR Efex Pro and AKVIS HDRFactory . Today...

I have already told you about several different software packages for HDR imaging. I had planned to do my last post for a while on the subject and then I came across yet another package. Previously I've covered ReDynamix which provides a low-cost option. There are two free packages, Luminance and...

The last two weeks I covered several tools for creating HDR images. Last week I covered the free options, Luminance and PictureNaut . Two weeks ago I wrote about ReDynamix . It is fairly inexpensive. Today we'll look at the other end of the spectrum. Nik HDR Efex Pro sells for $160 and requires either...

Last week I told you about the ReDynamic plug-in for creating Pseudo HDR from images . Today I'm going to tell you about two more solutions for creating HDR images and both of these are free tools. Luminance HDR is an open source tool available for both Mac and Windows. It runs as standalone software...

Over the next few weeks I'm going to tell you about a variety of tools for creating HDR (high dynamic range) photos. Some of the tools will be completely free and some will have a price tag. I'm going to start with a program that is probably one of the easiest to use. It does simulate the look...

Time marches. Tools evolve. Technique improves. We shoot new images every day. Our skills as a photographer naturally evolve with time too. The images we capture get better as time passes. RAW Processing has evolved in the past few years. HDR software has evolved in the past few years. Theoretically...

Chasing the sunset across the sky can be daunting. It is a race you can never win. I sped down the back roads of western North Dakota in July, my eyes desperately scanning for a suitable foreground element, as the sun receded in defiance. I am going to have to make something from nothing, I [...]

Everywhere you look today, images are getting, well…, crispy-crunchy-edgy-gritty; choose your adjective. Grunge • Crunch • Crispy • Edgy Some of this is the result of the the incredible infatuation both the viewing public and photographers have for HDR. Some of it is a response to flavor-of-the-week...

People are excited about HDR and, for good or ill, it appears to have some long legs. Until it becomes yesterday’s effect or tomorrow’s standard, you need to understand some basic HDR processes. These will help ensure that you are creating a great image-not just an effects demo. Finished Image Just because...

A return to the world of HDR and my flowing water roots. Every spring I watch the weather anxiously. I look for those clear days after two or more stormy days to make a pilgrimage to a special place: Hidden Falls at Big Woods State Park near Nerstrand, MN. When I converted from film to [...]

It is time to dust off those images you captured in the dawn of digital and reprocess them in the software from the decade of the teens. This image, Stone and Spray was one of my very first bracketed sequences. I had heard (in May of 2005) that you could bracket exposures and capture shadows [...]

Well, I received a good response off the last post. The image in the previous post was not an HDR image but rather one that was recovered strictly through the RAW converter. Below is the same file processed with the benefit of a three-exposure HDR. You can compare the two if you like. This is ...

That is the question. I get this question at just about every presentation I give. Oh, the question may take a different form such as:
Is that HDR?
What HDR program did you use there? Photoshop? Photomatix?
That has to be HDR, right?
Novices in the art of combining multiple exposure-value shots into...
