About HDR format

High dynamic range images store additional brightness information for every pixel. This is required for displaying extremely vivid colors on compatible monitors and TV screens. There are multiple versions of the format such as Radiance HDR, 16 bit or floating point TIFF, Portable Float Maps and raw binary files. This program supports all popular variations.

Please note that the free trial version of HDR Shop will expire 14 days after registration. There are other solutions for HDR image management like Dynamic Photo HDR.

Editing process

After starting the application you can import photos from the hard drive or an external storage device. It is possible to adjust the resulting contrast and brightness as well as enhance the color saturation.
