Picturenaut is a powerful program for Windows that gives you the means to quickly generate High Dynamic Range compositions. HDR photography involves capturing multiple exposures of a scene and merging them to create an image with a wider range of tones and details.

Create HDR photos

In contrast to similar tools, like Dynamic Photo HDR, this software offers a unique advantage. Its HDR generation engine operates independently of the user interface. Once you have selected three or more images with varying luminance values, the utility swiftly processes them and creates a composition.

After obtaining your HDR image, you have the possibility to adjust exposure values using a dedicated slider. There are also different tone mapping methods to choose from. This enables you to experiment and determine which approach complements your composition the most.

Advanced functionality

It is worth noting that you can preview the results of each adjustment. You also have the option to improve the functionality of the program. In order to do so, you can download and install plugins from community websites.

The application also boasts additional features such as automatic image alignment, color balancing, and ghost removal during the HDR picture merging process. While there is support for files in RAW format, you cannot save projects with JPG extensions.
