>>Well, I don't think the total dynamic range of this subject is high enough to be a real challenge for any (but the worst) tonemapping algorithms. A standard sunlit scene should be no problem for any decent DSLR as it was no problem for analog slide film in former times. At least not as long as the shadows are allowed to be dark black.
It was mostly an exercise to push my limits and learn the techniques - but my Canon 350 couldn't handle the range, that's for sure. >> It's 17 f-stops dynamic range. No human eye can perceive this in reality. It's just a challenge to show the entire dynamic range without reversed gradients and with least halos. That's the real question - what is the purpose of HDR? There are lots of answers probably, rendering to match human perception being one of them and art being another. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
