HDR or High Dynamic Range has been around for a while now. HDR is a set of techniques, in software, that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This is done by software that automatically combines differently exposed versions of the same scene.

This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.

Previously this kind of functionality has only been available to photographers in PC software such as Photoshop or Photomatix, until now that is in for guise of new iPhone app TrueHDR. Now you can use your iPhone 3GS to accurately capture realistic-looking pictures that have exposure and colour depth much closer to what your eyes originally saw.

Go to iTunes now and try it for yourself - we are totally in awe of this little app.

PhotoSavings has already reported on Doug Boutwell’s Totally Rad Actions, well now there is a freshly launched update called Totally Rad Actions 2.

Totally Rad Actions 2 (TRA2) is the cutting-edge new action set from the creators of the beloved Totally Rad Action Mix. TRA2 is a completely new set of actions for Adobe Photoshop that work together as a system, giving you an unprecedented blend of convenience and flexibility. This action set will unlock countless possibilities for making your photos shine, from dramatic black and whites, to vintage color effects, to everyday utilities to enhance your images. TRA2 is also the perfect compliment to the original Totally Rad Action Mix, adding powerful tools to your arsenal, while working seamlessly with the tools you already know and love.

TRA2 also improves on the things that made the Totally Rad Action Mix great. By keeping even more of the actions steps in separate layers, control freaks can now tweak the look of their images even further. And the experience and feedback we’ve received on the first set has been put to good use, creating actions that are more intelligent, and that work well across an even broader range of images.

There are 57 brand, spanking-new actions in the set, and they’re available right now for $159.00 USD.
