[Radiance-general] HDR

[Axel Jacobs]

Hullo again,

I would like to move this off-list because I do realise that all these
questions about HDRI are only of peripheral interest to the RADIANCE
community at large. However, a quick Google tought me that the majority of
HDR discussion seem to be going on at
http://www.hyperfocaldesign.com/,
and frankly, it doesn't seem to cut the custard for me. So please DO tell
me if there is a more appropriate List to direct this one to...

And 'ere we go:

I've just put up a few more examples on the WebHDR Gallery page, and
noticed that all of the tonemapped images are rather desaturated, compared
to what you get when hitting the old 'Do-it-all-for-me-Button' in Auto
Mode. I understand that most if not all digital consumer cameras do some
jigger-pokery colour gamut stretching, so the photos look a bit nicer.
However, my understanding is that once you've done an HDR, you can do all
sorts of things to it, probablay including those colour transform
things...

Since I am processing all results of WebHDR with RADIANCE tools, I was
wondering if there is a way of putting the colour-vibrancy back into the
tone mapped imaged.

Cheers

Axel
