HDR Photography for the iPhone

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 – running time 05:57
High Dynamic Range photography on your iPhone? Stephanie Chu shows you examples of image output from three different apps. See the review and find out which one works the best!

Segments

If you're unfamiliar with HDR photography, HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. In lesser words, this is an effect you can achieve by combining multiple exposures of photographs, therefore capturing a wider range of luminances. You can catch both the lightest and darkest parts of an image to create an intense photo.

HDR For Free, True HDR, and ProHDR all claim to give you amazing images. See real test cases and find out which app is the best!
