HDR tone-mapping is a process by which multiple images of the same scene are blended together to capture a wider range of highlight and shadow detail than what a single exposure could produce. With the HDR Efex Pro application, photographers can create image styles that range from hyper-realistic to incredibly surreal. What Dr. Odell and Mr. Sweet bring to the table are real-world explanations of every tool found in the software. More importantly, the two photographers add their insight on how and why to use each tool, rather than just define their function. "Every aspect of Nik's HDR Efex Pro was explored, explained, and illustrated,” says co-author Tony Sweet. "From the beginner to the experienced, this book is the essential companion to HDR Efex Pro."
