Practical HDRI: High Dynamic Range Imaging For Photographers
In this book, well-known expert Jack Howard leads you on an
exploration into the exciting new frontier of High Dynamic
Range Imaging. HDRI is a method to digitally capture, store,
and edit the full luminosity range of a scene in ways that
are just not possible with a single captured image.
Jack's illustrated text is easy
to understand as he takes
you from the initial image capture and into the digital
darkroom. Here is where you will learn to use this cutting
edge photographic technique to achieve spectacular results.
Covered are the most popular and effective HDR programs such
as Adobe Photoshop CS3, FDRTools, Dynamic Photo HDR,
Photomatix Pro, and more.
Topics include:
Illustrated step-by-step tutorials
Basic and advanced workflows
Post-production optimization for both web and print
File management
Advice on cameras and software
A wealth of HDR images, ranging from subtle to surreal
Real-world shooting tips from Jack's personal experiences as
both a creative photographer and photojournalist.
HDR imaging for the photographer can be challenging and
frustrating for the uninitiated, as it involves both field
and computer expertise. However, Jack Howard explains this
complex subject matter in a practical way that will not
intimidate the beginner, nor bore the experienced
photographer. The emphasis is on the creative process and
how to make it work for you-rather than the science behind
it.
