The very same tools that are used to compensate for HDR side effects can be used to sharpen any image.<br \/>\nWhen multiple bracketed exposures are merged into a single processed file, shadows and highlights that exceed the dynamic range of a camera\u2019s sensor are compressed into the dynamic range of a digital file, taking the midtones with them. Depending on the HDR software used, a variety of tools are available to restore contrast and separation in midtones. If used aggressively, these tools produce the tell tale signs of contemporary or grunge HDR artifacts \u2013 halos and texture accentuation. These are the very same artifacts that digital sharpening routines use more conservatively to make images appear sharper - only they look different.<\/p>\n<br><script src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js\"><\/script><form method=\"post\" id=\"los-pp-form\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" style=\"background-color:#eee;border:1px solid #C0C0C0\"><tr><td colspan=\"2\">Insights Members can login to read the full article.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Email:<\/td><td> <input name=\"los_pp_email\" type=\"text\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><button class=\"g-recaptcha\" type=\"submit\" data-sitekey=\"6LecTYkqAAAAAHJvkyBxFs7D81oS4wjaoHknShEt\" data-callback=\"onSubmit\">Login<\/button> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/get-news\/\">Sign up<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/form><script> function onSubmit(token) { document.getElementById(\"los-pp-form\").submit(); } <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; HDR software is most typically used to render shadow and highlight detail, but it can also be used to enhance tonal separation and detail in any range of tones, even in images with extremely low contrast.
