 FDRCompressor Plug-In
Plug-In for Adobe Photoshop ® CS2, CS3 and CS4. Used to compress the tonal value range of an image
(tone mapping). This method has some valuable applications:
- with RAW images and JPEG images:
- Illumination of shadowy areas
- Contrast enhancement
- with HDR (High Dynamic Range) images:
- Dynamic range compression
- Visualisation for normal output media like monitor or print
- Contrast and detail conservation
FDRCompressor Plug-In augments the Photoshop ® HDR conversion methods by an
alternative powerful algorithm that yields quite natural acting results.
Essential features:
- natural scene illumination
- excellent contrast and details
- does not cause artefacts
- adjustable parameters: Dynamic Compression, Image Contrast, Gamma Curve, Color Saturation,
Black level, White level
- supported Modes: RGB images with 8, 16 and 32 bit depth
- scriptable
Remarks:
- FDRCompressor Plug-In can't produce HDR images. Creation of HDR images from several,
differently exposed photos can be done with a Photoshop method.
- As an alternative we offer the software FDRTools
Advanced that is capable of producing HDR images in high quality and comprises the
FDRCompressor algorithm for HDR conversion.
