easyHDR

 

Editorial review

EasyHDR is image processing software that produces and maps high dynamic density images. An HDR image is produced from a sequence of photos of the same scene, taken with different exposure settings. It must be mapped with easyHDR, so that it can be displayed on a computer screen or printed. With easyHDR, you'll finally be able to get properly exposed images even when shooting in very difficult lighting conditions. If the photo sequence is freehand (without a tripod), the photo alignment tool available in easyHDR (automatic or manual) can be used. With the hand tool, it is possible to compensate for alignment, rotation, scale and perspective shifts. The final, mapped result can be post-processed with built-in filters, which include: sharpening, blurring, noise removal, white balance as well as selective shade and color editing. The program is able to import different file formats: JPEG, TIFF, FITS (used by astrophotography cameras), RGBE (HDR image) and almost all digital camera RAW formats, many manufacturers (Canon, Fuji, Minolta, Olympus, Panasonic, Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Kodak, Leica...). The output photos can be saved in JPEG format or, for more detail, in 16-bit TIFF format.
