Next generation of High Dynamic Range Photo software with Pin Warping, Anti-Ghosting and Color Matching.
And it is not only for HDR!
Let's talk real-life photography
Many
times you see a beautiful scene and of course you take a picture! The
result is often far from being the magical scene you remember.
Our eyes are very adaptive and they are also more sensitive to intensity than color. The chip in camera is none of that.
It is estimated that our eye can see over a dynamic range of nearly 24 f-stops while a digital camera can capture a dynamic range around 6 to 9 f-stops at best.
For this scene we could set our digital camera to correctly capture
the foreground (left) or the sky (right),
but not both at same time
The High Dynamic Range Imaging
is a set of techniques that has been developed nearly 20 years ago to
overcome the limitations of electronic devices by combining multiple
exposures into one great looking image.
Using HDR technique we can combine the different exposures
to create a single image
that shows details in both sky and the land.
A
High Dynamic Range photography can be created by taking few photos with
different exposure, then combining them in the software into a high
dynamic file. The last thing is to tone-map the HDR image so we can see it in our screen, print it, post it on the web and enjoy.
We
created our software to be fun to use, fast and straight forward. No
fiddling with incomprehensible parameters. And as it is common for our
products we added many cool features that you may not have seen in any
other package.
DPHDR has more effects than any other comparable software.
The version 4 adds even more; like this Little Planet.
Not only for Multiple Exposures
Our Dynamic Photo HDR (DPHDR) can be actually used with a single RAW or
JPG image with very good results. Granted, this will not produce the
full dynamic range expansion, but the process itself will in fact add a
very distinctive "punch" to your image. Just try it!
Dynamic Photo HDR can be used on a single RAW or JPG image
with pretty convincing results.
Easy to understand software with super fast preview
Powerful Auto-Aligning, Manual or Auto-Assist Aligning of images with an innovative Pin Warping that can correct all types of misalignment, including camera roll, pitch or yaw
Anti-ghosting mask that can completely eliminate ghosting of moving objects
Various tone mapping procedures that can create a whole range of images - from smooth photographic tone mapping to very dramatic images
Load and save HDR files

Support for 360 Panoramic images
Batch Processing to add images to queue and then process them all at once
Live HDR preview during various steps, you can see tonemapped image preview even before you create HDR!
Real-Time Preview - as you move the sliders you see the changes in real-time.
Paint the tone-mapping strength where you want it with a brush
Version
4 has all the image adjustments you will need: White Balance, Levels,
Gamma, Hue, Chromatic Aberration, Barrel and Pincushion correction,
Perspective correction and more.
Dynamic Photo HDR has already few very interesting build-in filters for Orton Effect or to create eye-catching B/W photos.
You can use Pseudo-HDR process on a single 8-bit source
Our new real-time Light Tuner will let you change the Tone-Mapped effect and see the feedback result immediately as you move the Light Orb, without any calculation
You can create fine-tuned Black and White shots with the B/W channel Mixer
More cool effects such as Vignette or Mysterious light.
Color Correction using Kelvin parameters with preview table.
Match Color will allow you to match your new tonemapped image to any other photo or painting.
Match Color can match your image to another image colors.
Here shown also with Mysterious Light Color Filter.
Pin Warping
Aligning image taken by hand is not any big problem in our software. The unique Pin Warping method can align even most stubborn images where camera shifted, changed roll, pitch or yaw.
Anti-Ghosting Mask
If an object moved while you were taking different shots, this would
normally create a "ghost" on the final image.
We added a powerful yet very simple to use anti-ghosting mask
feature. Just paint over all instances of the moved objects (you don't
even have to be very precise!) and it will without trace completely
eliminate the ghosts from the final image. In Full version you can use
Live HDR function. Just press Quick Preview button that will almost
instantly show you the result HDR image with the anti-ghosting mask
applied.
Once a moved objects are marked, the Anti-Ghosting process will automatically
elliminate the ghosts and keep only one instance of the object.
Reviews:
Dynamic Photo HDR (DPHDR) by Mediachance
is the sort of Windows-only program that will make Intel-Mac owners
want to get BootCamp and run Vista right now. Not only is DPHDR one of
the more affordable free-standing HDR-gen and Tonemapping titles, it is
also powerful enough to warrant serious consideration for the HDRI
photographer... Jack Howard - Popphoto.com

Silky-smooth sky!
A common problem with over-processed HDR images is adding halo and
noise blocks in large smooth areas such as clean sky. 3D Sky filter
automatically adjust the tone-mapping to preserve the smoothness of the
sky (Even if you really step on the "HDR effect" pedal as we did with
the image below)
And we added one for Skin too, so now you can tone-map portraits as well.
