Description

This filter can create High Dynamic Range type pictures using only one input image. You can make sky and clouds stronger without overwhelming the entire image. Faces can be pulled out of shadows. Brighter sharper images can be produced without washing out colors. Detail can be pulled out of night shots. Graphic art like images can be created at the extreme limit of the slider settings. You can either improve or be creative with any type of image. Give all the presets a try on your images to see which work best.Tips: This filter is best used with images with a broad range of image types. It is best to test it out on some of your own images to see the full effect. The Life preserver image is too well balanced to see what the real possibilities of the filter are. It also will produce some real artistic effects on low resolution or heavily cropped images. As always the pixel size slider will greatly affect the final results.
