O que é HDR?

Omar Junior — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:55:41 +0000

HDR / High Dynamic Range / Grande Alcance Dinâmico

Os sensores das câmeras digitais conseguem captar as cores e luzes dentro de uma faixa teoricamente limitada (LDR – Low Dynamic Range). Isto faz com que em zonas de muito contraste, algumas informações de cores e de luz sejam perdidas.

Veja o desenho abaixo:

Nosso olho (1ª linha) consegue ver uma tonalidade de luz muito maior que o sensor da câmera (2ª linha).

Um exemplo prático:

Se você está dentro de um galpão escuro em um dica claro, e esta de frente para porta e fotografa em direção a rua.o que a sua câmera vai registrar? Dependendo onde você fez a medição de luz, vai aparecer o galpão escuro/subexposto e o exterior claro/bem exposto ou o galpão todo iluminado/bem exposto e o exterior superexposto/muito claro “estourado”. Como resolver esse problema?

Com o HDR, é possível equalizar a luz do ambiente deixando você ver o que está tanto no interior quanto no exterior. Tirando fotos com exposições diferentes do mesmo local e depois “misturando-as” em um software, ele faz o ajuste das tonalidades de luz. Isso é chamado de Mapeamento de Tons (tone mapping).

Creio que o HDR, na fotografia, tem como função principal equalizar os tons de luz e contraste que não se consegue com uma única foto, através de duas ou mais exposições buscando um resultado mais parecido com o real.

No processo de mapeamento de tons pode-se fazer um HDR fiel a cena real ou um com tom mais artístico. Isso vai do gosto de cada pessoa. Para deixar mais artístico, deve-se regular o software para deixar as opções nos níveis mais fortes. O resultado fica mais perto do surrealista, isso pode ser bom ou ruim, vai depender do uso que você quer para a foto.

O processo edição de uma foto HDR é divido em 2 etapas:

1. Obter as fotos

Primeiramente você vai precisar de três fotos (pode ser 4 ou 5, depende do nivel de detalhamento que você esta buscando, mas com três já se consegue um bom resultado) com exposições diferentes. Uma normal (0 EV), uma subexposta (-2 EV) e outra superexposta (+2 EV).

Para isso é necessário usar o auto-bracketing, que é o recurso no qual a câmera tira 3 ou mais fotos com exposições diferentes, geralmente -2EV – 0 – +2EV. Usando este recurso ,tira-se 3 ou mais fotos do mesmo local com exposições diferentes, a -2EV vai registrar as partes mais claras em uma tonalidade bem suave, a 0EV vai tirar a foto fotometrada corretamente e a +2EV vai estourar onde estava claro e onde estava escuro vai ficar bem claro.

Trabalhando com baixa velocidade é recomendado o uso de um tripé para que as fotos saiam sem nenhuma diferença, pois é fundamental na hora da mistura que todas as fotos estejam corretamente alinhadas.

2. Mistura e Ajustes

Após ter obtido as fotos com exposições diferentes é só mistura-las em um programa apropriado para isso. Eu recomendo estes programas:

- Photomatix

- Artizen HDR

- Dynamic Photo HDR

Agora é só abrir as 3 imagens em um dos programas, mistura-las e fazer os ajustes para cada foto. Não tem como dar uma receita, pois cada fotografia pede um ajuste diferente, então tente achar o seu.

Photomatix Pro 3.2 Final (32/64 bit)

Omar Junior — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:04:03 +0000

Foi liberada a versão final do Photomatix para windows(32/64 bit) e mac.

O mais famoso programa de edição HDR, o Photomatix, chega a sua versão 3.2 final, vamos as mudanças:

Update log
Updated in v3.2
Summary of main updates Multi-threading support for Tone Compressor and parts of Details Enhancer Details Enhancer settings improvements: New mode offering finer control for Smoothing setting (i.e. the setting that controls “natural” vs “artificial” look) and improved effect of Highlights Smoothness (i.e. the setting that preserves “clean” skies) Ability to tag saved images with keyword Built-in presets for Details Enhancer More robust alignment for “by matching features” method. Batch processing advanced options: automatic detection of bracketed photos and ability to process a sub-set of each bracketed set.
Detailed list of updates
-	Updated RAW conversion routine to support RAW files from the Canon 500D/T1i, Nikon D3X, Olympus E30, Pentax K-m/K2000, Canon SX1/SX110 and Panasonic GH1.
-	Multi-threading support for tone mapping: complete multi-threading for Tone Compressor method and partial for Details Enhancer method. The maximum number of cores used can be adjusted in Preferences.
-	Details Enhancer’s Light Smoothing setting (renamed “Smoothing” in v3.2) has now two modes. The new mode is in the form of a slider and produces a slightly different effect. The behavior of previous versions corresponds to the “Light” mode which is in the form of five buttons named “Min”, “Low”, “Mid”, “High” and “Max”.
-	Details Enhancer’s Highlights Smoothness setting (i.e. the setting that avoids grey highlights and preserves “clean” skies) has been significantly improved.
-	Improved the accuracy of the Tone Mapping preview compared to the final image and changed the size options on the preview dialog. Size options are now ratios of the input HDR image such as 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8. Intermediary sizes are achieved via the ‘Preview Magnification’ setting.
-	Histogram of tone mapping dialog in now available per color channel and shows in a separate window. The count and percentile of each level is displayed while the user moves the mouse over the histogram.
-	Contextual help for the tone mapping controls shows in an expandable section of the Tone Mapping Settings dialog.
-	Batch Processing adds an option for automatically detecting the photos belonging to a bracketed set. This option is useful when some of the photos in the processed folder are not part of a bracketed set and/or when the number of frames per bracketed set varies.
-	Batch Processing adds an option for processing a sub-set of each bracketed set. This option is useful, for instance, when the user wish to batch process only three frames of bracketed sets containing five frames taken in one-EV step each.
-	Based on requests from time-lapse photographers, Batch Processing now reads any valid Tone Mapping setting XMP file saved under a processed sub-folder, and use its settings to tone map the images of the sub-folder.
-	Improved alignment of “by matching features” method.
-	Added built-in presets for Details Enhancer. Presets are “Natural”, “Smooth Skies”, “Painterly” and “Grunge”, and are accessible from the Presets combo-box.
-	Added ability to tag saved images with keyword set in Preferences. Keyword is added to IPTC metadata of images saved using the ‘File’ menu or created via Batch Processing (though not to via batching of single files).
-	Added option in Preferences giving the choice between default and previous settings when starting the tone mapping dialog.
-	Changed the name of ‘Process’ button into ‘Save and re-import’ when source images were exported using the Lightroom plug-in and the “Automatically re-import images into Lightroom” box was checked.
-	Simplified the layout of the Batch conversion of single files and added ability to set the JPEG quality.
-	Improved panning and zooming of opened or processed images.
-	Made White Balance and Color Space settings for generating HDR image from RAWs sticky.
-	Bug fixed: Export from Lightroom plug-in stalled when the path of the photos included non-ASCII characters (e.g. German “ü” or French “é”).
-	Bug fixed: Error was not returned and process stopped when exporting from Lightroom photos different in width and/or height.
-	Bug fixed: When the Lightroom plug-in’s option “Go directly to Tone Mapping” was unchecked, Photomatix systematically saved the processed image and reimported it back into Lightroom even when the user specified otherwise.
-	Bug fixed: the directory of the last saved image was not remembered in some cases.
-	Bug fixed: When processing images with exposure blending and the “Align images” option was unchecked, Photomatix may still try to align the images.
-	Bug fixed: Some PSD files showed black when opened.
-	Bug fixed: selecting the “360° image” option did not correct the difference at the zenith.
-	Bug fixed: generating an HDR image from more than eight files of 21 MegaPixels each and in 16 bits/channel crashed due to insufficient memory.
-	Bug fixed: When saving image as TIFF, DateTimeOriginal tag was not written in the correct order, which made Picasa crash and GIMP return a warning.
-	Bug fixed: Exposure Blending with the Adjust method did not produce correct output when the “Shadows” setting was higher than 0 and the source images in 16 bits/channel mode.
-	Bug fixed: crash when using the ‘Unwrap Mirror Ball’ utility.
-	Bug fixed: Batch Processing with exposure blending 16-bit images while the output bit-depth was set to 8 did not work.
-	Bug fixed: White Balance setting was not taken into account.
