AKVIS HDRFactory 8.0 | High Dynamic Range Images: Brighter than Reality!

AKVIS HDRFactory is a versatile program for creating HDR images from a series of shots or from one single photo and for making photo correction. Use professional techniques without efforts!

High Dynamic Range Imaging is a technique used to produce an image with high dynamic range. The software makes HDR photos by combining several images of the same object taken with different exposure values. The result is an expressive contrasting image that reflects reality with a higher level of authenticity than a simple snapshot.

By comparison, the human eye discerns many more nuances of color and brightness than any modern camera could record. The HDR technology endeavours to bridge the gap between reality as we see it and its photographic reflection.

The name of the program can be taken literally, as HDRFactory is a real workshop for the production of fascinating HDR images.

With the software you can come very close to reality and even go beyond it by creating stylized images with fabulous colors and unique effects.

AKVIS HDRFactory can also imitate the HDR effect on a single image, by creating a so-called pseudo-HDR.

This technique is useful if you don't have a series of images with different exposures. Just load a single image into AKVIS HDRFactory and admire the effect which goes beyond photo realism and opens the door into the fascinating world of HDR!

The program can also be used for photo correction. You can adjust color saturation and brightness, and bring out the detail in dark and bright areas.

AKVIS HDRFactory brings life and color to your photos!

It's fast and easy to make an ideal High Dynamic Range photo in the program: combine images into one HDR image, and if necessary, apply additional correction and effects.

The program offers a number of the ready to use AKVIS presets. You can also create your own presets by saving frequently used settings. This feature optimizes your work and saves you time.

Advanced licenses (Home Deluxe and Business) offer additional features. They include the Ghost Removal tool that helps to repair the so-called "ghosts" that sometimes appear in an HDR image and the Local Correction tool which helps to refine the result on certain areas.

AKVIS HDRFactory is available in two versions - as an independent program (standalone) and as a plugin to a photo editor. The plugin is compatible with AliveColors, Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro, etc. Check the compatibility.

The standalone application also lets you use the Post Processing settings to adjust brightness, contrast, gamma, and saturation of the image, and the Crop tool to improve the composition.

The plugin version supports Batch Processing with actions (when making an HDR effect on a single image) that lets you automatically process a lot of images.

The software offers a multi-language user interface.
