![]() There are 11 Tone Mapping algorithms that can be combined or used individually in HDR projects 5 pro and they're applied by simply double clicking on them. The tone mapping feature is useful when you've created an HDR image where the dynamic range varies widely as these options can help you bring the range down to a presentable level and also improve the overall look of the final photo. In the post-processing expert mode, which you can find on the right-hand side of the screen, you'll find two new tone mapping procedures. The two new algorithms are 'repro neutral' and 'repro intensive' which have been designed with scan data particularly in mind but we found 'Entropy' to be fine, which is set as the standard algorithm in HDR projects 5 pro. HDR Algorithms are used to determine the weighting of each individual exposure in a series - pixel for pixel - and two more HDR algorithms have been added to the list you can choose from. Every algorithm has a different effect, depending on the bracketing and subject, so it's worth going through them one at a time to see how they affect your photos. ![]() Other updates worth a quick mention include the ability to see photos on a map, font size choices when using menus and a hot key list (shortcuts) have been embedded into the program. General tweaks have been made to the HDR algorithm to make the software run faster and the software now supports 8 colour spaces. You can 'HDR' just one image by simply selecting a preset and hitting 'save' but if you'd like to go down the traditional route of bracketing shots you can now select 55 images to combine per bracketing series, 22 more than you could in version 4. It's useful for quick referencing and can save you having to scroll through all 155 presets. When loaded, it looks like a contact sheet and among many other things, you can now compare two images with a 'before & after' effect by selecting one image with your left mouse button then choosing the one you want to compare it with by clicking your right mouse button. You can preview all of the presets in the Preview Gallery but it can take quite some time for this to load as the software has to apply every single preset to your photo. As we said before, not all presets work on every image, and some are a little garish, but with 155 to pick from, we're sure you'll find one that works. The software is still a doddle to use and with 21 new presets added to HDR projects 5 professional, you now have 155 presets to scroll through, click and preview. If you've used HDR project 4, or any other of FRANZIS' software for that matter, you'll be familiar with the layout of the interface (if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?) but it's good to see that the software now has plugins so it can be used with Photoshop and it's also 4K friendly, something pros will appreciate.
