When you shoot a scene with a bright sky above a dark landscape, the resulting image can exceed the dynamic range of your camera's sensor, unable to properly expose both the brightest and darkest areas. One solution is to shoot a 'bracketed' sequence of images at different exposures for processing into a 'high dynamic range' image.
By merging the data from underexposed and overexposed shots, an image that is rich in detail in everything from the darkest shadows to the brightest highlights can be produced. However, care needs to be taken when processing such shots: some may prefer a naturalistic view, and others a hyper-detailed look. HDR projects takes the guesswork out of creating HDR images. Rather than having to fiddle with options and sliders before the HDR image is produced, you simply open your bracketed sequence into the program and it instantly processes the HDR in more than 100 ways. The program suggests a preset, but you are free to pick whichever you like the look of.
We are giving away the fantastic HDR projects 2018, which originally sold for $69 (about £53). If you like what you see, you can upgrade to the latest HDR projects 9 Professional, with a tasty 30% discount off the $99 asking price.
