Description
Apply gradual Pseudo-HDR effects to non-square images at ANY ANGLE (Check examples in comments). Fix/enhance underexposed areas of your pictures while keeping other areas intact (great for landscapes) or use creatively to bring some extra life to dark zones on your photos. Based on "Pseudo-HDR" filter by Gene S Morgan TIPS: - For basic adjustments, tweak gradual smoothness and shifting using "Grad. Vertical Shift/Blending" controls. - For more advanced/creative control over the gradient curve, use the "Grad. Curve Editor". - Use the "Preview Mask (B&W)" option for a clear view of your custom gradient curve settings. - For full image Pseudo-HDR effect, set "Rotation" and "Grad. Vertical Shift" controls to "0"(zero). - Some polarizer fx simulations are possible (specially on skies) using high "Pseudo-HDR Balance" values
