And another, it totally shifts all the tones and basically repaints the image with a new light! (Again this has only the base image, no other exposures)

So far I've only tried this HDR filter on single photos, but I'm getting very pleasing results. It can make dull photos spring to life without being HDR'd to excess.

This is pure GOLD...or even DIAMOND!!!
It can rescue some boring images in a very surprising way!
A keeper in the collection, for sure!
Congrats, Betis!!

While using this filter today with my own photos, I realized a fundamental problem. To generate the HDR map it grabs the brightness from the middle exposure and essentially puts lower exposures in brighter areas of the image and butting higher exposures in darker areas.

The problem is that what if your exposure is clipping a bunch? The whole clipped area gets treated as the same exposure, but it's not. Basically each next exposure needs the data from the exposure before it, not the middle one.

This changes a lot of stuff structurally so it will be some time before it gets updated. smile:)

WOW! This looks really very interesting and very useful. I have NOT tried it yet really on images BUT it looks very good and very good idea to do this.

I have only tried to load some images into EV´s and thought "What would happen if the source images are NOT all the same?"

Well I have discovered that probably you could make strange compositions and collages mixing photos in a different way.

Here in one example of what I mean

I totally was seeing that today when messing up some presets LOL

it's pretty awesome, try some more symmetrical or mathematical images too, I bet you could get some wicked stuff smile:ff:

And this is with ALL the 7 with different images

I forgot to say that is ALSO very important the image you have loaded in the main one, I have for the above two, loaded the Window built in image.

And if you load all 7 with the same image you STILL can make curious collage with the main source image, as you can see here that I loaded the Window built in image as main source

I think with the update I was mentioning, it will become a lot more interesting because it will use that exposure's brightness as a map for the next one, meaning all the images will have an effect on the image
