Let's Create An HDR Image Using Aurora HDR 19
Let’s first understand what exactly is an HDR image. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. HDR images display tones far exceeding the recording capabilities of a digital camera’s imaging sensor. This of course needs further explanation. Photographing high contrast scenes using a single exposure, and expecting adequate details in the highlights as well as the shadows, is not always possible under today’s technology. If you expose correctly for the bright sky, the foreground will be underexposed (will be very dark); if you expose correctly for the darker foreground, the highlights (the sky) will be overexposed. At such times, we say that the dynamic range of the scene is greater than the dynamic range of the camera’s imaging sensor.
