HDR Express demystifies HDR software by giving you the controls and presets you need to create realistic or stylized HDR photos in the blink of an eye. It combines all the critically acclaimed power of HDR Expose with an intuitive interface to give you fast, beautiful HDR results that you never believed were possible.
I feel that anyone who tries HDR Express will instantly fall in love with it’s results, simplicity and speed.Description: HDR Express™ is the game-changer in HDR Software. I would also highly recommend this HDR software for anyone looking to produce more natural images. HDR Express might not impress me with it’s dynamic HDR photos, but I truly enjoyed using it and plan on producing all my natural HDR images with it. HDR Express is so good at handle colors naturally that it can’t produce vibrant images without causing color banding in areas where colors shift too suddenly. I think one of the reasons for this is the way it handles color.
It does have options to create high contrast and artistic photos, but I feel the results are simply not that great. The only thing that HDR Express has a hard time doing, and this is a personal preference, is dynamic images. I’ll tell you… that extra process button really annoys me for some reason. HDR Express is the only HDR software, so far, that allows me to save my image without having to click a process image button first. This allows me to save my final HDR image. This is a very handy tool that I find very helpful to see where my exposure should intersect.Īfter I finish tone mapping I simply press the save button. I can also replay this by clicking a play button. At first I thought the program was freaking out, but I then realized that this was an added function allowing me to see the entire range of light available. The tone mapping options available are basic but enough to produce a very attractive image.Īnother thing I noticed when HDR Express first opens the tone mapping window, the preview image gradually shifts from under exposure to over exposure. When HDR Express finishes merging the exposures I am taken automatically to the tone mapping window, allowing me to immediately tone map my HDR photo. Most likely it has that built-in, as I don’t see noise being an issue in any of the HDR images created using HDR Express. The only thing missing from this window is a denoise option. There is a check box to align the images and three ghosting options to choose from. Once I have my exposures loaded there are two merging options available. It lets me know that a developer is either using their own software or listening to people’s opinions. This is a great feature, because sometimes I have JPG and RAW exposures in the same directory. This option lets me see only JPG files or RAW files. Something I found very useful in the browsing window for loading exposures into HDR Express is the ability to pick JPG separate from RAW.
#HDR EXPRESS PLUS#
You can load images by dragging and dropping it into this window or you can click the plus symbol. This will pop open the Merge to HDR window which will allow you to load your exposures. To create an HDR image in HDR Express all you need to do is click the Create/Merge A New HDR Image… button. Not only is it fast but it’s intuitive and straight to the point, so creating an HDR photo is quick and easy compared to all the other programs that I’ve tested so far. But with the release of HDR Express, Unified color has remedied that problem, developing the fastest HDR program that I’ve used yet. I remember when Unified Color released their first HDR application, that one was slower than dirt.
#HDR EXPRESS PROFESSIONAL#
It’s simple enough for a beginner to understand but advance in a way that allows a professional to produce very beautiful and natural HDR photos. HDR Express, really means express… this is the first HDR software that I felt got me creating HDRs with little effort. I really do enjoy using the tone mapping features in this program. I wish it was capable of producing my type of dynamic images, but I guess I can’t have it all. HDR Express is my newest favorite HDR application for creating natural images. It’s fast, the tone mapping is easy and results are excellent… in regards to natural looking images. HDR Express is by far the best HDR program that I’ve tested. Unless of course more high dynamic range programs are suggested. This marks the halfway point to my HDR software review process. Posted Ma– HDR Express by Unified Color is the seventh HDR software to be tested and reviewed by Captain Kimo.
