Hyper-realistic Grunchy HDR

Disclaimer: This image is processed for experimental purpose only and mavenimagery does not indorse nor discard such HDR treatment . HDR, today, is very subjective and depends on how you'd like your image look. Although, HDR imagine is here to stay, currently, the technology to support it is not available. An HDR image has to be converted to LDR (Low Dynamic Range) so that it can be viewed by standard monitors and printed for publishing. And there won't be any demand in the photography market for HDR images not aytime sooner than five years or so...

The new features inPhotomatix Pro 4 (beta) are ridiculously made easy for enthusiasts who are trending in such image processing. All we did was combining the bracketed exposures and fed them to the processor. Then we chose the Grunch mode and let it stew. The result was painfully Grunchy and overdone so I have tweaked the candy-colors and the plastic look.

Those who'd like to try and experiment with such image processing can and by all means should; it's easier than you might think. It's no rocket science...come on, let me see you Grunch!
