Description: |
|
The Tone Mapping plug-in processes High Dynamic Range images in order to reveal their details in highlights and shadows. |
|
The resulting image can then be converted into an 8-bit or 16-bit file that shows the whole dynamic range available in the original HDR image. Because the tonal range has been compressed while maintaining local contrast, the tone mapped image is ready for display on standard monitors and prints. |
|
The Tone Mapping plug-in can also be applied to a 16-bit image resulting from RAW conversion. |
| |
|
Updated in version 2.0: |
| - |
Added Tone Compressor tone mapping method.
|
| - |
Multi-threading support: complete multi-threading for Tone Compressor method and partial for Details Enhancer method.
|
| - |
Added support for tone mapping larger files than was previously possible
|
| - |
Details Enhancer's Light Smoothing setting (renamed "Smoothing" in v1.1) 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.
|
| - |
Added built-in presets for Details Enhancer. Presets are "Natural", "Smooth Skies", "Painterly" and "Grunge", and are accessible from the Presets combo-box. |
| - |
Added buttons for 'Undo' and 'Redo' of the last settings done |
| - |
Bug fixed: Tone mapping a large file sometimes causes Photoshop to crash when there is insufficient memory to perform the operation
|
|
| |
|
Updated in version 1.2: |
| - |
Added six new settings: Gamma, Color Temperature, Saturation Highlights, Saturation Shadows, Highlights Smoothing, Shadows Smoothing and Shadows Clipping.
|
| - |
Bug fixed: scripting should now be correctly supported.
|
| - |
Bug fixed: actions calling the Tone Mapping plug-in should now play with the correct settings.
|
| - |
Bug fixed: trying the plug-in on the new layer of an HDR image should not crash Photoshop anymore.
|
|
| |
|
Updated in version 1.1: |
| - |
Added setting "Micro-smoothing". This setting
smoothes out local details enhancements, which has for effect of reducing noise in the sky for instance and tends to give a "cleaner" look
to the tone mapped image.
|
| - |
Made the settings sticky.
|
| - |
Renamed setting "Smoothing" into "Light Smoothing" and "Microcontrast" into "Micro-contrast", and changed the controls
of both settings from
pull-down menus to sliders. A value of "High" for Light Smoothing is now the equivalent of +1.
|
| - |
Extended the range of setting "Light Smoothing": it can now take a value of +2 (equivalent of "Very High") as maximum instead of +1 (equivalent of "High").
|
| - |
Fixed bug that produced almost black output, or white corners with some images.
