Next generation of High Dynamic Range Photo software with Pin Warping, Anti-Ghosting and Color Matching.
And it is not only for HDR!
Let's talk real-life photography
 Many times you see a beautiful scene and of course you take a picture! The result is often far from being the magical scene you remember.
Our eyes are very adaptive and they are also more sensitive to intensity than color. The chip in camera is none of that.
It is estimated that our eye can see over a dynamic range of nearly 24 f-stops while a digital camera can capture a dynamic range around 6 to 9 f-stops at best.
For this scene we could set our digital camera to correctly capture
the foreground (left) or the sky (right),
but not both at same time
The High Dynamic Range Imaging is a set of techniques that has been developed nearly 20 years ago to overcome the limitations of electronic devices by combining multiple exposures into one great looking image.
Using HDR technique we can combine the different exposures
to create a single image
that shows details in both sky and the land.
A High Dynamic Range photography can be created by taking few photos with different exposure, then combining them in the software into a high dynamic file. The last thing is to tone-map the HDR image so we can see it in our screen, print it, post it on the web and enjoy.
We created our software to be fun to use, fast and straight forward. No fiddling with incomprehensible parameters. And as it is common for our products we added many cool features that you may not have seen in any other package.
DPHDR has more effects than any other comparable software.
The version 4 adds even more; like this Little Planet.

Not only for Multiple Exposures
Our Dynamic Photo HDR (DPHDR) can be actually used with a single RAW or JPG image with very good results. Granted, this will not produce the full dynamic range expansion, but the process itself will in fact add a very distinctive "punch" to your image. Just try it!
Dynamic Photo HDR can be used on a single RAW or JPG image
with pretty convincing results.

- Pin Warping
Aligning image taken by hand is not any big problem in our software. The unique Pin Warping method can align even most stubborn images where camera shifted, changed roll, pitch or yaw.
- Anti-Ghosting Mask
If an object moved while you were taking different shots, this would normally create a "ghost" on the final image.
We added a powerful yet very simple to use anti-ghosting mask feature. Just paint over all instances of the moved objects (you don't even have to be very precise!) and it will without trace completely eliminate the ghosts from the final image. In Full version you can use Live HDR function. Just press Quick Preview button that will almost instantly show you the result HDR image with the anti-ghosting mask applied.
Once a moved objects are marked, the Anti-Ghosting process will automatically
elliminate the ghosts and keep only one instance of the object.
Reviews:
- Dynamic Photo HDR (DPHDR) by Mediachance is the sort of Windows-only program that will make Intel-Mac owners want to get BootCamp and run Vista right now. Not only is DPHDR one of the more affordable free-standing HDR-gen and Tonemapping titles, it is also powerful enough to warrant serious consideration for the HDRI photographer... Jack Howard - Popphoto.com
- It's been long time since I have been so impressed by any software. It's easy to use with surprising results... Ondrej Neff - Digineff.cz
- Dynamic Photo HDR is the new kid on the block, joining the ranks of HDR utilities. It comes in a sexy outfit, that offers just the right blend of usability and eye-candy interface. And it's prized very competitive at $55 bucks.

Silky-smooth sky!
A common problem with over-processed HDR images is adding halo and noise blocks in large smooth areas such as clean sky.
3D Sky filter automatically adjust the tone-mapping to preserve the smoothness of the sky (Even if you really step on the "HDR effect" pedal as we did with the image below)
And we added one for Skin too, so now you can tone-map portraits as well. |

 New software Orbis Luminum breaks the ice with the subtle tweaks of the perceived JPG/RAW image light. It is by design plain and simple: with only one large and friendly control - the Orb. It is also what we call "experimental".
