Whether it is as a light-source or illumination technique in 3D-scenes (Image Based Lighting), in photography, or in documentations, the additional dynamic range of the HDR-images provides the designer with a superior degree of technical and artistic options.
With HDRfinish V1 there is finally a tool which unlocks these powers for a broad audience.
The conversion between the various HDR panoramic formats (e.g Spherical Map, Light-Probe, Horizontal Cross, Vertical Cross) represents an important function of HDRfinish V1.

From now on users can convert any HDRI into the desired panoramic format - and do so while maintaining unusually high picture quality.
The times of trying to render a 3D-scene with a less-than-optimal panorama format are over.
Dosch Design's HDRfinish V1 program supports creating ones own HDR-images by turning multiple ordinary 24-bit pictures (e.g from digital camera, scanner) from a controlled exposure-variation series into one High Dynamic Range-image.
Feature Overview:.
* Load, Save and Print standard HDI-formats (hdr, open-exr, pfm), as well as the standard LDR-formats (24-bit picture format) like BMP, TIF and JPG.
* High-performance viewer with Alpha-blending, zoom interpolation and straight-forward navigation for hassle-free use.
* Changing Exposure and Gamma-values of HDR-image.
* Panorama conversion of all standard formats (Lightprobe, Spherical Map, Horizontal Cross, Vertical Cross, etc).
* Image size adjustment with integrated, high-quality Interpolation and Anti-Aliasing feature.
* Image cropping.
* Image rotation and image mirroring (flip).
* Producing an HDR from a specific exposure series (e.g BMP, JPG, TIF sequence).
* Filters for sharpness/blurriness control.
* Combining 6 individual images (cube view) to a Horizontal Cross.
* Pasting/adding of picture elements using Alpha-mask (e.g replacing of floor/tri-pod in panoramic images).
* Working with LDR-formats (classic 24-bit picture format) at the same quality level and the same dynamic range as HDR-images.
* Saving of the current dynamic range of an HDRI as a Low Dynamic Range Image.
The product distinguishes itself through its user-friendliness and the attractive price/performance ratio.
Dosch HDRI: HDRfinish V1 is compatible with Windows computers and is priced at 119.00 USD/99.00 EUR.
