And How about HDRtist?

Posted by Philip in Follow-up

If you don’t know if HDR is for you and want to try your hand (or photography) at it, you have the option of of your choice of various 30 day trials for plugins and software.  But if you are like me, sometimes you get distracted and those trials run out or you may not have the time to really vest yourself into a new technology.  So a free program for HDR photography like HDRtist by Ohanaware may be what you are looking for.  It’s simple… really simple.  Drop the photos on the app and you have a single strength slider to control the look.  It appears that it’s more than just exposure blending, so you can make your HDR anywhere from bland to really punchy.  But if you want something funky, you’ll have to blend images from different scenes.

Here’s where you come in: Give HDRtist a try and tell me what you think.  I’m not affiliated with them in any way, just curious if you think a single slider bar is enough, even for freeware.
