Product Description:
The HDRI Handbook reveals the secrets behind High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI). This cutting-edge imaging technology is a method to digitally capture and edit all light in a scene. It represents a quantum leap in imaging technology, as revolutionary as the leap from Black & White to Color imaging. If you are serious about photography, you will find that HDRI is the final step that places digital ahead of analog. The old problem of over- and underexposure in analog photography, which was never fully solved, is elegantly bypassed here. A huge variety of subjects can now be photographed for the first time ever.

HDRI emerged from the movie industry, and was once Hollywood's best kept secret. It is now a mature technology available to everyone. The only problem was that it was poorly documented until now. The HDRI Handbook is the manual that was missing.

Many questions remain open even for the computer graphics gurus that have been using HDRI for years. This is where The HDRI Handbook comes in. Included here is everything you need to build a comprehensive knowledge base that will enable you to become really creative with HDRI. This book is packed with practical hints and tips, software evaluations, workshops, and hands-on tutorials. Whether you are a photographer, 3D artist, compositor, or cinematographer, this book is sure to enlighten you.

Topics include:
  • Understanding the foundation of HDRI
  • Tools for a High Dynamic Range Workflow
  • How to capture HDR images: now and tomorrow
  • Tone mapping for creating superior prints
  • Image processing and compositing
  • All 4 ways to shoot panoramic HDRIs
  • Image based lighting and CG rendering
  • World premiere of the Smart Dynamic Range toolkit
  • Creative uses and unconventional applications

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book!
This book is great. It has all the info you would want on HDRI. I really enjoy reading it, Christian Bloch is a great writer.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best HDRI resource I've found to date
This is one of 3 books I've read on HDRI and while they were all helpful, this one was by far the most informative and in depth. It is helpful to have a high level of proficiency with your camera and a fundamental understanding of digital imaging in order to get the most out of this book.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Essential for the beginner :-HDRI Handbook
Christian Bloch's HDRI handbook is an essential in-depth read for the HDRI beginner, and if read in depth will clarify the issues and choices the HDRI photographer faces. Supplementary software for the tutorials, plus full working and some trial versions of several HDRI application packages round out a thoroughly useful and well integrated approach to the subject.
There is one small failing, which is unavoidable when committing to print: In a subject area where there is much active research, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good technical look at HDR - maybe too technical
I recently discovered HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography and this is one of the first books I picked up on the subject.
It is probably one of the most thorough books on HDR, including HDR in computer graphics. The first couple of chapters are detailed - very detailed - explanations of how digital cameras work, their range, etc. The middle portion of the book is the part I return to as I am learning more about this. Those sections go through several examples as well as the different software ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent title for the beginner....
If you have an interest in learning what HDRI imagine is all about and prefer to know more about the more technical details of it rather than a laymans overview, then this book is an excellent starting point. It is very clearly written and Christian covers pretty much all aspects regarding it, from the science behind it, to file formats and the best software to work with it in. He also covers its use in Photography and 3D computer graphics. Though he doesn't go into any great depth in those areas as ... Read More
