Atlantic Light Works and Reindeer Graphics announce the release of FreeHDR™ a free Photoshop add-on that performs High Dynamic Range (HDR) alignment and blending on digital photographs. Compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms in 32- and 64-bit processing, it operates in Photoshop CS4 and CS5 (Photoshop Extended required for 32-bits/channel images). FreeHDR™ works with both B&W and Color images in 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit modes.

FreeHDR™, a High Dynamic Range operator, combines images without ‘grunge’ effects. FreeHDR™ finds an optimal alignment for images to be blended (with multiple quality settings) that does not suffer from the flaws in Photoshop’s alignment. The blending of the images occurs with accurate color rendition, minimal noise, reduced ghosting, and attention to the realistic nature of the photograph itself, rather than an interpretation.

Compare the color rendering, alignment and blending of FreeHDR™ with Photomatix® and other HDR programs. We think you’ll agree that the results are a notch above the rest…at a price that can’t be beat.

FreeHDR™ may be downloaded FREE only from http://www.georgedewolfe.com/perceptool.html.
