Dynamic Light For Mac

HDR (High-Dynamic-Range Imaging) images are usually created by taking multiple photos with different exposure levels in order to compensate the loss of details in the dark or bright areas.

The cameras that can produce this type of results usually store the images in raw format which takes a lot of space and is not supported by many image viewers: as a result, further processing is required.

However, if you are looking to give an HRD styled look to your images without having to deal with these issues, Dynamic Light is a small Mac app that allows you to apply various effects to your photos in order to simulate the result.

Working with Dynamic Light is extremely straightforward: import the image you want to process (supports JPG, TIFF, PNG and other popular formats), select one of the 24 available effects and then adjust the effect amount, radius and the source position (simply move the Light Ball) until you reach a satisfactory outcome.

The application allows you to preview the source image and the adjustments effects in real time: a large area of the Dynamic Light main window is reserved for the preview, while the customization tools are placed on the sides.

Dynamic Light includes various types of effects, such as Vignette, Sepia, Orton, Mysterious Light, Infrared or the very popular Dutch Light effects (inspired by the lighting method used by various Dutch painters). Simply browse the collection and experiment until you find one that brings out the best in your picture.

To conclude, if you are looking for an easy to use application that can help you create HDR styled photos by processing a single image file, Dynamic Light certainly deserves your attention.
