Accurate and Pro What is HDR photography? The human eye possesses a unique characteristic: it can perceive at a given time a much wider range of tones, colors and luminosity than what cameras are capable of capturing today. High Dynamic Range -HDR- is a technique that allows capturing a larger dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of a photographed scene by merging multiple exposures of said scene. Three reasons to get into HDR photography Take pictures that were simply impossible to capture before Before HDR techniques were invented, a scene that contained a large range of luminosity between its darkest and lightest areas could not be captured accurately since you had to choose one single exposure value for the whole scene. Edit and improve your pictures like a professional photographer Many professional photographers and advanced amateurs also use HDR tools to edit single photos. Express yourself using HDR as a new photography style

Digital Image Resizing One aspect of digital images which seems to cause a lot of confusion to beginners is the matter of image size. There are three basic measures of image size Pixel count - e.g 3000x2000 pixels Physical size - e.g. 4" x 6" Resolution - e.g. 72 pixels per inch (ppi) The confusion seems to arise because people aren't sure of how these are related. Digital image files are "tagged" with other information. Pixels When you display a digital image on a monitor using a web browser, the only thing that determines the size of the image is the width and height in pixels. So I'll say this once again. For example here's a screen from PhotoShop (and PhotoShop Elements) which allows you to change the pixel width and height of the image. You can see here we are starting out with an image which is 1000 pixels wide and 640 pixels high. Note that since we had the "Constrain Proportions" box checked, changing the width also changed the height in correct proportion. Pixels per Inch Dots Per Inch

NOTCOT.ORG textorizer Textorizer allows you to make pictures formed with text. It is best described by the sample images below. Although there are many versions around, the only one that is continuing to supported is this one. Excoffizer takes a picture and produces a vector rendition of the picture, made of parallel lines of varying thickness. The previous version of Textorizer came as a downloadable application. Right now, textorizer/excoffizer works in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Some browsers will however struggle with larger output images. Choose a mode examples Here are a few pictures produced with textorizer/excoffizer (click to see the text) There is even a Textorized Group on Flickr, with many more examples.

Cuded DRI-Tool Freeware Durch Verrechnung einzelner Aufnahmen einer Belichtungsreihe lassen sich Überstrahlungen bzw. dunkle Bildpartien vermeiden. Das funktioniert beim kostenlosen Traumflieger-DRI-Tool mit wenigen Mausclicks. HINWEIS: die Beschreibung wird hier für die Vers. 1.0 angegeben (die in grossen Teilen noch zutrifft), mittlerweile ist jedoch schon die Version 2.0online ! ÜberblickWas ist DRI ? Warum DRI ? Was ist DRI ? Mit DRI (Dynamic Range Increase) wird eine Bildbearbeitungs-Technik bezeichnet, bei der mehrere Bilder einer Belichtungsreihe zu einem Bild fusioniert werden. Um hochkontrastreiche Szenen wiederzugeben, werden mehrere Aufnahmen desselben Motivs mit unterschiedlicher Belichtungseinstellung benötigt. Software zu einem hochdynamischen Bild verrechnet. Warum DRI ? Manche Bilder können die Frage aufwerfen, warum sie überhaupt aufgenommen wurden. Das Problem der zu geringen Kontrastverarbeitung lässt sich am besten mit Hilfe einer Belichtungsreihe in den Griff bekommen. Wann DRI ? Faustregel
