Hydra was the beast of ancient water that heads of nine around; When the head was cut off, the more increased two in his place. I'm not sure whether the name is clearly appropriate for the application, that the Magic works with high dynamic range (HDR) image processing, but look at it. And may change its name to HyDRa!
Hydra can use as Appendix 3 aperture, Lightroom 2.x or stand-alone application So as usual I will see in feet first with almost immediately with the aid of the .PDF file to write this review.
Previously and were prepared a pair of images using the settings of the miniature. Kinda cute, Kodak and truck models were Brazil townscape, its rendered in plaster.
Both shots were exposed ISO 125 with eyelets f8. Shot backgrounds led me to use a shutter speed from 1/1600 second; the foreground to the truck and the shutter speed from 1/60 seconds. This is the extent of exposure of the 4.6 stops f. Each JPEG shot totted as file 3.5 MB.
Open Hydra, the images render this area of the button and ten seconds later THE HDR version has been completed, 2.2 MB JPEG.At this time was that I read the help file tele and experience that you can have and process 10 files in Hydra, each change of exposure as Homer bleat … Doh!
Bang, so disabling the next lot: 10 hauls, quickly taken on the desktop, any JPEG, varying between 2 and 4 MB.Soup: 22 seconds later, the version of the merged HDR.
But something is wrong: they are slight moves between the shots!No probs: Hydra provides tools to align each image to the other, it is somewhat difficult., but at the end of the day's work.
This feature allows you to: you can search for topics, pens the streets to find the appropriate one of the values of exposure, just right for processing HDR and fire off a parenthesis.Don't forget, to a maximum of ten, ten, although the end user may be slaughtered culture helps give effect after downloading until the end or excessive exposed when you merge multiple images.
However, actually fair, I have found way trad considered desirable: exact match multiple shots best taken with a camera firmly on a tripod.Like my last exercise.You do not agree?
Hydra is an excellent and easy-to-use software.It has incredible range of control is easy to operate.What more do you want?
Of course, Photoshop has a feature HDR, easy-to-use and efficient.I tried both Find and decide which you prefer. my money goes on a horse Hydra. Nine heads and all!
There are many people turn on their lips on HDR thoughts, claiming it muddies the shot, deleting a drama, usually exposed image. I'm a little with them … but Hydra provides a variety of products.
