Xara Photo Graphic Designer and HDR pictures

[Marc]

Hi,
Is there a possibility to make HDR picture with Xara Photo & Graphic Designer ?
I search about the subject but found no information.
Am I the first user interrested in that ?

Thanks.
Marc.

Hi
No you can't make true HDR photos. You can combine the best of several images using Designer to control which areas of differing exposure to emphasise and so enhance photographs in that way but they are not true HDR.

Just something I came up with...

Just curious to have a try at it. Here's an all-Xtreme version with three different layers (the right and left clouds have two different brightness/contrast settings applied to them, and those settings are much different than the building settings). Doing this will require more time than I put into it, because the clipview edge takes a little effort to blend correctly.

BUT. This effect can be achieved in almost any photo manipulation package (including the free Gimp, if I'm not mistaken). And some (like Photoshop) have many more filters than Xtreme, such as color balance. (At least I don't think it's included in 6.0.)

Akvis HDRF was able to make a psudo HDR running as a plugin. It has a single image mode. I doubt that you could use several images running as a plugin.
