Hi, i just learned how to use hdr’s… now i know i can use gimp and just mask out the stuff i want out of my under-normal-and overexposed images, but is there any opensourse/free hdr software out there like photomatix :
I prefer Luminance HDR, it is an open source project from Source Forge. It would come in second my tests. It produced an acceptable result from the handheld test and good results from default settings. One advantage to Luminance is the thumbnails it creates using the different algorithms available. It makes it easy for a user to pick a thumbnail that they like and then make small adjustments.
