MacNN has taken the opportunity to test HDRtist, a tool for creating high dynamic range images from groups of photos. The software was originally released in October 2009, but since has undergone one major update, which added the ability to align images that aren't exactly the same. HDR imaging is traditionally done by taking three or more shots of the same scene at different exposures, but other methods have been developed, and are explained in the software's help files. Overall, the software is said to run very well but lack a few desirable functions.
