![]() ![]() More importantly, however, you can adjust the settings for how the individual captures should be combined. The images you selected will then be presented as thumbnails so you can confirm which photos are going to be assembled into an HDR image. ![]() Then click the Open button to initiate the process of creating your HDR image. Note, by the way, that you could also take advantage of the “Batch Processing” option to assemble multiple HDR images in a single process.Īfter selecting the option to open images, you can navigate to the folder containing the photos you want to assemble into an HDR image, and select those images. You can click that button, or choose File > Open from the menu to get started. When you initially launch Aurora HDR 2018 you’ll see the “Open Image” button. The other option is to simply open the original captures directly from within Aurora HDR 2018. If you’re using other software such as Lightroom or Photoshop as the foundation of your overall workflow, you can employ Aurora HDR 2018 as a plug-in for these other software tools. With Aurora HDR 2018, there are a couple of ways you can start the process of creating the initial HDR image. The second is to perform what is referred to as “tone mapping” or translating the huge range of tonal and color values into the range of values available for a “normal” photographic image. The first is to assemble the multiple exposures into a single image with a tremendous amount of information. There are two basic steps to creating a final HDR image. The ultimate goal is to be sure that you have one exposure that is dark enough to include full detail in the bright areas of the scene, one exposure that is bright enough to include full detail in the dark areas of the scene, and exposures in steps of one or two stops to transition between the darkest and brightest exposures. This will help ensure consistent depth of field in the scene. In most cases you will want to keep the lens aperture setting fixed, altering the shutter speed for each frame to adjust the exposure. It is highly recommended that you use the RAW capture mode for these exposures, to ensure there is maximum information available for creating your final image. If you are able to capture a bracketed sequence of five or more photos you can separate the exposures by one stop each. If your camera only enables you to capture a bracket of three exposures, you can separate the exposures by two stops each. Most cameras include an automatic exposure bracketing (AEB) feature that can help streamline the process of capturing the several exposures which are needed to create an HDR result. Put simply, when you aren’t able to capture a single photo that includes detail in the darkest shadows and the brightest highlights of a scene, you’ll want to capture multiple exposures and blend them together with software such as Aurora HDR 2018. The first step in creating a high dynamic range (HDR) image is to capture a sequence of photos. In this article, I’ll show you how it’s done. ![]() Fortunately, with the help of powerful software such as Aurora HDR 2018, you can transform a scene with high contrast into a stunning photographic image with tremendous detail. Sometimes, however, the contrast of a scene exceeds the ability of your camera to contain all of that information. In fact, quite often you may find that contrast is what inspires you to photograph a particular scene or subject in the first place. The simple contrast between light and shadow can have a powerful effect on a photographic image. ![]()
