Tutorial: AKVIS Enhancer

Highlands scenery

 

The photo has been sent to us by Denis Davydov (www.reznikdavydov.com).

Denis sent us a series of shots under different exposures. The scenery is really beautiful. However, the colors are dark, some objects are hardly visible because they are not lighted. Using AKVIS Enhancer you can reveal details and improve colour saturation.

Result: HDR image

Look how to achieve this result:

  • Step 1. Open AKVIS Enhancer (the standalone edition which supports HDRI technology).
  • Step 2. Press the button in the Control Panel of AKVIS Enhancer and select the required files in the dialog box Load images.

    Images will be loaded into the program and processed automatically at default parameters (in this case it is the AKVIS Default preset)

    AKVIS Enhnacer: HDR mode
  • Step 3. Now switch to the Post Processing tab. To increase the image contrast, set the value of the Contrast parameter = 13. You can compare your image and the result by switching between the Before and After tabs.
    Change the value of the parameters
  • Step 4. The result is good. You can save the result by pressing the button . But our goal is to make this image brighter and reveal some objects in the shadows.

    Let's change some parameters. In the first tab (Options of HDR mode) set the value of the parameters: Saturation = 87, Level of Detail = 8, Dark Detail = 28, Lighness = 48. You can try your own settings.

    Change the value of the parameters of HDR
  • Step 5. The work is done! Now our image is bright and detailed. Press the button to save the result.
    The resulting HDR-image
