The built-in HDRFactory plugin is designed to create images with high dynamic range.

Attention! The effect is not available in the free version of AliveColors.

HDRFactory allows you to get an HDR image by merging several photos taken with different exposures into a composite image. Alternatively, you can apply the HDR effect to a single photo.

HDR feature allows overcoming the dynamic range limitations of current camera technology and makes the scene much more vivid and closer to what our eye can see.

 

The following features are available in the built-in HDRFactory plugin:

Creating HDR Images. The mode allows producing an image with a high dynamic range. Find more information about the effect options at the pages: Creating HDR Images, Adjustment, and Effects.
