FDRTools Basic

FDRTools Basic are a collection of capable tools for the ambitious shutterbug.

This software allows you to overcome the technical limitations of your digital camera and produce images with a contrast and dynamik range not considered possible so far.

The dynamic range enrichment is handled comfortable and far easier than with traditional methods. The performance characteristics outclass these methods.

Essential features:
  • Combine several differently exposed photos of an exposure series into an HDR image
  • Prepare your HDR images for display or print with high quality tonal range compression (tone mapping)
  • Import the RAW images of your digital camera
  • Export and archive the optimised HDR image in a format of your choice

Characteristics in detail:
  • Automatic compensation of slight camera jiggling and vibration with tripod based photos
  • HDRI creation for static scenes, optimal denoising
  • 2 (global) methods for tone mapping
  • Histogram view of the HDR image and the tone mapped results
  • Control of blackpoint and whitepoint, saturation and gamma
  • Automation by integration with external applications or scripts is possible
  • Supported import image formats:
    • JPEG, TIFF, Radiance RGBE, OpenEXR
    • Integrated RAW converter DCRAW for direct import of virtually all digital camera RAW formats
  • Supported export image formats:
    • Radiance RGBE, OpenEXR, TIFF, PNG, PPM, BMP, JPEG

System requirements:
Operating system: at least Windows 2000 or OS X 10.4
Main memory: at least 512 MB
Processor: at least Pentium 4, PowerPC G4
