HDR Image

Strictly speaking, an HDR image is an intermediary image with 32 bits per color chan-

nel (96 bits per pixel)� An HDR image is the result of merging photos of the same

scene taken under dierent exposure settings and stored in special HDR image

format� The 32-bit intermediary HDR image must be processed with tone mapping

for proper display on standard monitors and prints� It has become very common to

dene "HDR image" as the result of processing the 32-bit HDR image with tone map-

ping, i�e� the tone mapped output, but this is not technically correct�

Histogram

Histograms represent brightness distribution in digital images� They help evaluate

correct exposure� The y-axis represents the amount of pixels and the x-axis represents

the brightness value�

JPEG

A common image le format with two primary strengths – a relatively small le size

and universal compatibility� JPEGs use a lossy compression scheme and should not

be edited and re-saved�

Noise

Statistical variations inherent in the sensor system cause noise� Noise is always pres-

ent, but higher sensitivities and smaller sensors usually generate more noise�

Pixel

Digital pictures consist of pixels, the smallest units� Each pixel has a color that can be

represented by 8 or 16 bits or as a oating-point number (32bit HDR)�

PPI

Pixels per Inch� Can be used to describe the actual pixels per inch of a print� Often

confused with DPI (Dots per Inch), used by color printers to print an image�

RAW File

A le containing the raw data from the camera sensor� RAW les do not have a color

prole or other stylistic preferences permanently applied�

TIFF

A comprehensive image format that oers lossless compression schemes for smaller

le sizes with higher quality� This format is suitable for editing and printing but not

publishing on the Web�

Tone Mapping

Processing a 32-bit HDR image into an image that can be properly viewed on

monitors and in prints�
