With easyHDR, get your digital photos closer to what you've seen with your own eyes. Say goodbye to unwanted over- and underexposures. EasyHDR is an image-processing application that produces and tone maps High Dynamic Range images. You will get neat results even if the photos are taken in very difficult lighting conditions. An HDR image is produced out of a sequence of photos taken with different exposure settings. It has to be tone mapped, so it can be displayed on a computer screen or printed. If the photos are taken hand-held (without a tripod) the photo alignment tool (automatic as well as manual) can be used. It compensates even for perspective misalignment. Manual and automatic ghost removal allows fixing problems with moving people, cars, trees, etc. You get maximum control on the tone-mapping process by having a live preview of a photo at full resolution.

easyHDR is capable of these image formats:

  • JPEG
  • TIFF 8/16/32 bit
  • PNG
  • FITS (used in astrophotography cameras)
  • Radiance RGBE
  • OpenEXR
  • and nearly all digital camera RAW formats by all vendors

There is also a plug-in allowing integration with Adobe Lightroom 4 and later. If you have hundreds of photos to process, you'll also find batch processing very useful. Just create a task list, start processing, and wait for the results.



Version 3.8.0:
New Features:
  • New Lens Correction tool (replaces Chromatic Aberration Correction). It uses Lensfun camera and lens database in order to fix both - distortion and chromatic aberration of the lens. It may be used in automatic or manual way. The auto mode works if the lens and camera models are read from photo's EXIF and are found in the Lensfun database,
  • Possibility to load resized JPEG and RAW photos. It requires special option to be enabled first: Settings -> Show options when loading photos,
  • Support for High DPI screens on Windows (previously it was fully supported only on Mac OS X),
  • New options in the crop and free rotate tool (Image menu). It is now also possible to apply distortion and perspective,
Improvements:
  • More ghost removal settings available in the batch processing,
  • Lightroom plug-in comes now with two default presets, accessible directly from the Export dialog or from the Export with preset menu in Lightroom. To use more advanced options of the plug-in the user may create own such presets.
  • Lightroom plug-in allows file renaming and resizing on export,
  • Restoring windows sizes and positions (batch, manual alignment, lens correction, ghost removal),
  • Default output file name may be now set in a more flexible way, see Program Options -> Saving Result,
Other Changes:
  • Fixed bug in Lightroom plug-in. When the result was saved in folder with special characters, import to Lightroom catalog was not working,
  • Fixed location (GPS) EXIF data transfer.


  • OS X 10.7 or later
