Set Sail: Creating an Pseudo-HDR Image When you create a pseudo-HDR from one photo in AKVIS HDRFactory you can reveal hidden details, make colors more saturated, and add depth. In general, you will have created an image that looks so real, it seems that if you cover your eyes for a moment, you can almost hear the lapping of waves, the wind puffing up the sails, and the ship sailing away!
