New generation of High Dynamic Range Photo software with Pin Warping and Anti-Ghosting.

Fake HDR (FITYMI processing)

Why not to have some fun after all the serious capturing, aligning and tone-mapping?.

FITYMI is in full version of Dynamic Photo HDR, but you can also try this process as a separate Adobe Phototshop Plug-in.

Fake (Pseudo) HDR is a special new process that can create HDR-like tone-mapped image from only a single JPG file (For single RAW we still advice to go for full HDR processing).

It is very simple (fun and fast too).

1. Add only single JPG image in Create new HDRI image.

2. Press OK and you will see a new dialog reminding you that HDR is best created from multiple images. It also shows you a small sample how the single image will look if you don't listen and go with a single image anyway using Full HDR or the new FITYMI process.

3. Select the FITYMI process and press OK. You will immediately go to a Fake Tone-Mapping dialog with the familliar controls. Here only two methods are available.

4. Play with the sliders! Then press Process button to export your new image.

Here are some samples, all from a single JPG source!
We used the 0 EV file from few of our previous examples elsewhere on this page.
You can compare them with the full HDR process.

This process will happilly increase noise and be prepared also for some areas with color clipping and banding. But hey, we created a HDR-like picture from a single 8-bit image source and all within just few minutes, without all the bracketing, aligning and tone-mapping.

Also with this brand new FIYMIT process you don't have to aim at a HDR look, you can just add a little character to your ordinary pictures.

This is not a replacement for the HDRI process, just a fun addition! It can easily serve as a first check for full multi-exposure HDR. If you take just 0EV from your bracketing set and process it with FIYMIT you can get a pretty good idea how the full image will look like if processed with multiple exposures.
If the FIYMIT image looks interesting so it will the full process using multiple exposures. If the FIYMIT image looks "nothing much" then, well you may have saved some time....
