Since I’ve been an HDR photographer, I’ve always known about Picturenaut. Picturenaut is a great software for those who love more realistic images. It’s great for photographers who dislike the intense look of most HDR images. I’ve used Picturenaut for a short period back in the days, but I’m one of those photographers who enjoys the more hyper real images.<\/p>\n

I use Picturenaut from time to time but for 99% of my photos I use Photomatix Pro<\/a><\/strong> HDR software for creating my high dynamic range photos. I use Photomatix because it gives me more control over the dynamic look of my HDR images.<\/p>\n

Picturenaut is great but it lacks a lot of these options for dynamic range. In a way that’s good and bad. It’s good because it makes creating HDR images super easy. It’s bad because you’re limited to only a few results. All of which are all realistic. Below is quick starter video for Picturenaut.<\/p>\n

As you can see, with the results above, Picturenaut does a great job creating the HDR image but it lacks options to produce a richer more dynamic photo.<\/p>\n
