#SNS HDR LITE SOFTWARE#
#SNS HDR LITE WINDOWS#

SNS-HDR Lite is freeware but runs from the command line only. The underlying engine is the same in all three, but the degree of control offered the user varies in each as does the price.

SNS-HDR runs on Windows only and is available in three versions. Once installed, the language difficulty is behind you so don't let this discourage you if, like me, you don't speak Polish. It's one of those cool things about the modern Internet that makes it possible for me to find a program like this and read a website like this. Or you can always use Google translator or any other online translation service manually with any browser. There is a 'Select Language' dropdown in the upper right corner to translate the text to English or many other languages, but be advised that this seems to work under Internet Explorer only, not Firefox. The program installs in English (with an option to change the language to Polish if you prefer), but the site itself is in Polish. SNS-HDR is written by Sebastian Nibisz who lives in Poland. This week, I want to let you know about a great HDR program that is even less well known so far than Oloneo. Oloneo isn't yet very well known while everyone seems to be talking about Nik's offering.

Two favorites I wrote about recently are the new Nik Software HDR Efex Pro, and the still beta Oloneo Photo Engine. I really have better things to do than fight with software when other options exist. All HDR applications will let you create realistic tone mapped images of course, but some make it easy, and some make it much more difficult. Personally, I like applications that help me get realistic results. I've seen some such creations that look good but I'll have to admit I'm not a fan of most images of this kind. Objects almost glow with oversaturation and halos. Some HDR applications tend towards the extreme, producing results that are more works of art than photographic images. If you're interested in natural looking HDR, you owe it to yourself to check out yet one more. SNS-HDR: An Easy Way to Get Natural Looking HDR ImagesДЄs I've written in another recent article, there are a lot of new applications for High Dynamic Range imaging available these days.
