HDR projects darkroom

HDR projects darkroom is a comprehensive application developed to provide photographers and regular users with advanced image editing capabilities, so they can enhance the appearance of their pictures.

The program is quite complex, requiring a little grind-work before being able to work with it to the fullest, particularly if users lack experience with similar tools. However, it is sufficiently straight-forward so as not to cause users to waste time without being able to get anything done.

When loading a new image, users go through a 'HDR Preparation' step, that allows them to select the preferred 'White Balance' type, 'Color Space Conversion', 'Alignment' and others.

After loading the image they want to work with, HDR projects darkroom enables users to select any of the categories of effects: 'Standard', 'Surreal', 'Artistic', 'Natural', 'Landscape', 'Monochrome' or 'Architecture', from the left-side panel, with each one offering several distinct options and a thumbnail preview of the resulting image.

Moreover, the right-side panel features several customizable settings for each effect. As such, users have the option of activating 'Soft Contrast', 'Color Intensity', 'Glamour Lighting', 'Sharpening Levels', 'Gradation Curve', 'Median Noise Suppression', 'Sepia Tones' and many others.

HDR projects darkroom allows users to display HDR histograms, useful particularly to professional photographers and image analysts. Users can edit 'Exposure Bracketing' by moving the assigned sliders left or right, previewing the results. Similarly, the application also lets users select the preferred level of 'Entropy HDR Smoothing' from a drop-down menu, as 'Sharp', 'Normal', 'Soft', 'Custom' or 'Very Soft'. Other functions include the ability to mirror images vertically or horizontally, as well as rotate them or adjust their resolution.

To conclude, HDR projects darkroom is an advanced utility whose main purpose is to assist users in performing high-dynamic range operations, enabling them to create impressive imagery with very little effort.
