Luminance HDR is a professional photo editing software for Windows accompanied with advanced tools to create high quality images.
Production process
This open source program helps photographers to design pictures in HDR formats by merging multiple photos taken at different exposure levels. This method captures a wider range of content highlighting both dark and bright areas on images. In other words, it is possible to achieve exceptional sharpness and necessary color richness yet keeping a balanced and realistic look.
There are numerous tone mapping operators such as Fattal, Drago, Reinhard and Mantiuk. You can switch between the parameters and fine-tune your projects to check them in different artistic effects. The program allows you to focus more on gamma, exposure or contract depending on what you need to express in your photos.
Corrections
The editor provides a set of tools to align images shot during movements. It is possible to get rid of the background shifts and other nuances. Moreover, you are able to access enhancement features to balance the color, improve overall quality and resolution as well as highlight one area over other ones.
