Feb 22, 2013 at 13:51 comment added Matt Grum "HDR" is possibly the most misused term in photography today, and might as well be read as "images with highly nonuniform tonemapping produced from one or more source images by a variety of means for the purpose of representing scenes with high dynamic range or applying special effects to otherwise boring images".

Feb 22, 2013 at 12:33 comment added Michael Nielsen His own formulation implies he considers "normal" HDR to be "lots of tone-mapped exposures", and from this we can infer that 2-3 is "lots", and also that he think they are tone-mapped before computing the merger, like they are in his example. But normally they are not. It is done directly on the bayer pattern before demosaicking in the good implementation, and after demosaicking in second rate versions, but while we are still in linear colour space. and THEN we tonemap, hopefully using a human perception calibrated sigmoid model (which is slower than normal toe/gamma-saturation mapping).
Feb 22, 2013 at 12:24 comment added Matt Grum @MichaelNielsen I don't think anybody would seriously say 2 can be interpreted as "lots" so I think ElendilTheTall's point stands.
Feb 22, 2013 at 7:53 comment added Michael Nielsen Well, I beg to differ. it is 2 tonemapped exposures - they are just manually weighted with a binary weight, vs computing the weights, making use of the noise suppressing features of the algorithm. Automated HDR is multiple non-mapped exposures, tonemapped once in post. Your link is exactly "lots of tonemapped exposures" in contrast, defining "lots" as 2.

Feb 22, 2013 at 6:30 comment added ElendilTheTall HDR doesn't always mean lots of tone mapped exposures. See this blog post photo.blogoverflow.com/2012/06/…
