How I create my HDR images! 

This is my final HDR image 

 

This is the master out of camera capture. 

 

I use my Canon M, with a 11 to 22 mm lens for this capture. 

 

The image file was uploaded via wifi card to my iPhone 6SE for processing! 

 

First App used is Snapseed to make 3 separate image files that will be combined into one final HDR file. 

 

I make one file for the bright tones (image highlights I want to stand out) 

 

I make one file for the mid tones (over general image tone) 

 

I make one file for the dark tones (area I want some shadows preserved in).  

This is my light tone file 

 

As I do up each file, sometimes noice is indroduced into the file at this stage. 

 

I saved each file as a separate new image. 

This is my middle tone file 

 

As I do up each file, sometimes noice is indroduced into the file at this stage. 

 

I saved each file as a separate new image. 

This is my dark (shadow) tone file. 

 

As I do up each file, sometimes noice is indroduced into the file at this stage. 

 

I saved each file as a separate new image. 

This is my final HDR file! 

 

All 3 of the separate tones image files are combined in a app called HDR Pro and saved as the final flattened image. 

 

Sometimes I used the slides in the app to manipulate the over all tonea if needed or redo one of the 3 various toned files for different results. 

 

The saved image is now processed in a noice reduction app called Noiseware to reduce or iliminate the added noice (grain or artifacts). 

 

The final app I used is Modern Editor for post sharpening, dodging or burning (lighting or darken effects) spot sharpening. 

 

If needed sometimes back into Snapseed for little more refinement as Snapseed has spot editing and other pro features. 

 

Please note that during each separate tone value image creation, I use some of the presets in Snapseed but use the sliders for personal preferences to each of the tone map files I create.
