Generate High Quality HDR Images with Picturenaut
Picturenaut is a software to help you generate HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. It allows loading several photos with different exposures and producing one image (16, 32, 64 bit colors) with higher dynamic range (i.e. with bigger difference between the lightest and darkest areas).
The program has a fast and responsive user interface. It allows you to create HDR from multiple images as it supports:
- Automatic alignment of the images
- Color balance
- Automatically determines the camera settings from the EXIF
- Exposure correction
There are two built in tone mapping algorithms
- Adaptive Logarithmic
- Photoreceptor Physiology
, although more can be added via the plugin interface. Several plugins are available and the program seems to do a fine job. Many settings are available to adjust for the tone mapping and they are previewed real-time, so you can get the best results.
Excellent program, which does not need any installation. Just unzip and run!
