What it is
Dynamic Photo HDR is Windows software for combining multiple exposures into HDR images or creating an HDR-style result from one image. It supports RAW files and provides tone mapping that ranges from smooth, natural treatments to dramatic or painterly effects. Source images can be aligned automatically, manually, or with auto-assist. An anti-ghosting mask lets users paint over moving objects in source shots, while batch processing queues images and can align them automatically. Editing includes effect layers and effects such as Orton, Sepia, Black/White, Vignette, and Mysterious Light. Real-time preview and advanced denoising are listed, along with Match Color for matching a tone-mapped image to another photograph or painting. Output formats include JPG, PNG, BMP, TIF, Targa, 16-bit TIFF, and layered PSD. The product page identifies version 6.1, build 14/11/2017. It is described as a 64-bit Windows application, with a 32-bit version linked from the homepage. Pricing is $59, paid once, with no free plan.
