HDRtist ReviewHuge improvement, great results - Version: 1.1, 11/11/2009 07:00AM PST

Yesterday (by coincidence) I tried 1.0.0, and the resulting image was fuzzy. Today I saw this update, downloaded it, and tried the same images again. What is really significant for me is the inclusion of software to handle image alignment.

The results were great! Fuzziness is gone, but I do have a bit of clean-up to do on the photo as a result of the alignment (I need to crop some artifacts from the edges of the images.)

There are other tools that provide more control (here there's just a slide for 'strength') but if you want something to play with HDR, this is a great start.

One point (from another tool's FAQ): When shooting bracketed images for HDR processing, you should shoot in an "Aperture Priority Mode" so that each image has the same aperture. This prevents problems caused when the camera in its default mode if it decides to shoot your set of images at different apertures (which will cause image alignment problems due to depth-of-field differences.)

HDRtist ReviewCute, Simple - Version: 1.0, 10/3/2009 04:26PM PST

HRDtist is a simple, fun program for the beginning HDR photography artist. It has only one control, a slider, which sets one of four tone mapping algorithms (or a blend of any two contiguous algorithms). The Save command is slow as the program apparently re-renders the blended image, re-applies the chosen algorithm, and writes to disk. (Ref: 24" iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo Extreme). Fun to use for quick looks but if you need more control, look to other products.
