HDR Darkroom launched













HDR Darkroom have launched the software properly after the beta testing period (which I took part in)

The software which is designed for the HDR (high dynamic range) enthusiast has the advantages of being simple and remarkably quick to use, taking just over 10 seconds on my computer to render this HDR from a raw image. It works from a single jpeg through to multiply raw images, and even from DNG, should you be a user of Adobes tame RAW format (more on this in a later post!)

The software itself is a small quick and simple install, with a pleasant dark grey interface, the sliders are simple and unlike some other HDR software make sense and are intuitive (anyone who's used Photomatix will know what I mean there) this makes it easy to get a good result. You can buy the software from http://hdrdarkroom.com/hdr-tutorial.htm It costs $49 or about £30 at the current exchange rate.
