AKVIS HDRFactory lets you create an HDR image from a series of shots or from one single photo.

The software creates HDR images from a series of photographs taken at different exposures or from a single photograph. You can come very close to reality or even go beyond it by creating stylized images with fabulous colors and unique effects. The software also includes an efficient deghosting tool for removing ghost artifacts that sometimes appear when combining photos with moving objects.

The program can also be used for photo correction. You can adjust color saturation
What's New
Version 2.0:
  • Added the new Effects tab that lets you refine the look of your photos even further.
    Now the software offers a wide range of effects to fit any taste!

    You can adjust the mood of a photo by changing its color temperature or tint. You can create a realistic effect or go for something more creative and stylish. You can also add a glow to your image for a glamorous touch. You can apply a soft fade vignette to your photo. This is useful when you want to draw attention to particular subjects or objects in your photo, or just to create the perfect mood.

  • Added new ready-to-use Presets which are available in all three tabs (HDRI, Adjustment, and Effects) and contain all settings of these tabs. Now the program offers 34 presets!
    The presets can be applied in their initial version or can be modified. First you can try AKVIS presets and than create your own exclusive variations. It is possible to save your own presets to use them in the future.
  • Added the Preset Preview window. Now, when moving a cursor over a preset in the drop-down list, the quick result appears in the quick preview window over the image window. It saves you time and makes the selection of the presets easier.
  • The Post Processing parameters have been hidden and can now be opened by clicking on a triangle button, right to the HDRI/Adjustment/Effects tabs.
  • Added the possibility to adjust Image View Modes (various options for displaying the original and processed images, "before" and "after" states). The software now demonstrates more flexibility.
  • Added the possibility to rotate an image left or right by 90 degrees (to the standalone version).
  • ...and other changes.

I do not have series of photos to make an HDR image, so I am reviewing only the features when using a single photo. I use the software to ajust a photo, to create an HDR effect on a photo. I really like the results! My photos from the vacation, especially sea photos, now look astoundingly, and very, very expressively.

I can assure this is a very powerful, effective and fast application.
Really a "must have".
@ JasonE: I'll send to Akvis some examples of my own photos with high exposure differences in their parts, quickly and easily corrected with HDRFactory inside a single picture!

Come on AKVIS, stop being lazy and post screenshots for the platform you are trying to sell this to. If you want people to try your product and spend $70, then take the couple minutes to do it right. It is like running a marathon at a great rate and then walking the last mile.

If you are proud of your product, show it -- not some tiny screenshot from another platform.

JasonE,
I tried this application on both Mac and PC, I use both computers, the software looks identically on both. I believe that AKVIS offers their own style for all their products, I used not all but the most of them. The interface is stilish and ease to understand, so I like it.

As for features, I use HDRFactory for processing a single photo, to create an hdr effect with one image. The result is awesome.

AKVIS HDRFactory lets you create an HDR image from a series of shots or from one single photo.

The software creates HDR images from a series of photographs taken at different exposures or from a single photograph. You can come very close to reality or even go beyond it by creating stylized images with fabulous colors and unique effects. The software also includes an efficient deghosting tool for removing ghost artifacts that sometimes appear when combining photos with moving objects.

The program can also be used for photo correction. You can adjust color saturation and brightness, and bring out the detail in dark and bright areas.

AKVIS HDRFactory can also imitate the HDR effect on a single image, by creating a pseudo-HDR. This technique is useful if you don't have a series of images with different exposures. Just load a single image into AKVIS HDRFactory and admire the effect which goes beyond photo realism and opens the door into the fascinating world of HDR!
