HDR， It is believed that we are no strangers to those who like taking photos. This shooting technology has improved the dynamic range of our photos and kept more details in the pictures. But in many cases, HDR is not ideal for scenes or some mobile phones. What should you do? You need an APP.

Because the dynamic range of the mobile phone camera is very limited, it is very weak when shooting large contrast scenes. Although the HDR effect on mobile phones can restore some dignity, it is a pity that it is not much. In addition, not all mobile phones will have good HDR effect. So far, Samsung's high-end models have the best HDR performance on Android. On the iOS platform, it is the latest iPhone 5S. Even with these high-end machines, there is still no way to shoot amazing samples in some scenes.

At this time, we need to use some excellent photo processing software! We won't talk about camera X60 and X image show. It's boring. Here, I recommend you a very excellent map repair software: Snapsed. The following operation example is an operation demonstration on Snapsed based on Android platform.

First of all, we now search for Snapsed on Google Play or major application markets and download and install it.

Open the operation interface, click the button with a camera icon in the upper right corner, and you can open the camera to take photos or select the photos in your camera to modify.

The main tools we need to operate are arranged below. Here, the editor simply writes their functions. It is better to see this figure clearly first, and then the operation demonstration in the following article will be easy to understand.

This is basically the case. There are various filters and photo frames behind, but small editors seldom use these tools. Most of them are just for drawing.

Here, the editor chose to take photos from the company's balcony. The shooting tool is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo. In fact, this sample has been taken by HDR, but its expressiveness is still limited, so let's take this sample and open our knife! Let's take this picture to adjust a doomsday style!

The following briefly explains the functions of several tools. Here is the first contrast and color correction function. Note that after this function is enabled, the software will add 50% color and contrast by default.

Here is the contrast between 0% and 81% of color correction, If you want to adjust the effect, you can just slide left and right. Snapsed's adjustment gesture basically relies on sliding up and down, left and right to adjust the effect 。 I believe you can see the difference by looking at the screenshots and comparing them. This little compilation is seldom used. It will be better if you know about it. If you think adjustment is necessary, click "√" after adjustment. If you don't want it, click "×". After adjustment, if you want to see the contrast between the original image and the adjusted image, keep pressing the image icon in the upper right corner to see the contrast of the original image.

Second: local modification. Click the plus sign, and then place the plus sign on the screen to modify it locally. You can zoom in and out of the modification range with two fingers. When you zoom in or out, you will see that the areas affected by the modification will be marked in red. If you let go of your fingers, you will lose sight of them. In addition to controlling local brightness, there are contrast and saturation. You can switch the effect of adjustment by sliding up and down.

Third: adjustment tool. We mainly rely on this tool to adjust the HDR effect of a photo, so we will focus on it. First, we slide up and down to call up the "environment" effect, and then increase the "environment" effect to 100%. By comparing the left and right screenshots, we can clearly see that the dynamic range of the adjusted sample has been greatly improved.

Then we call out the "shadow". Since there are not many dark shadows in this sample, we don't need to strengthen it too much.

Xiao Bian plans to change this photo into a doomsday style, so he adds a little gentleness to make the color of the picture slightly yellow, and finally adds a little contrast.

Then we call out the "Sharpening" tool, and call out the "Structure" to strengthen the sharpening of the structure. This structure sharpening can further enhance the effect of HDR.

Xiao Bian hoped that the color of the sky would be brighter or more abnormal, so he used local modifications to enhance the brightness and saturation of some parts.

As it is a demonstration, I also talked about the use of filters. For the first time you use these filters, you can click on the filters of various styles in the back row one by one, and try them all once to see which filters are suitable for you. However, most of the filter styles are quite tasteful. We can adjust other data of these filters through up and down interaction, such as style intensity, If you like something heavy, you should strengthen it. Because there are too many filters and too many styles, you can't explain them one by one. You have to try more.

Here, Xiaobian selects the "VINTAGE" filter. Clicking the star button can also call up various styles of this filter. Because Xiaobian wants to use a little nostalgic effect, it selects Style 4. Then we can click the grid on the right to adjust the texture of this filter. Therefore, these filters have a variety of styles and texture combinations that you can adjust. If you really talk about them one by one, I'm afraid you will have to write more articles to finish them. It's up to you to try more.

The final exported photo is very cool, right? And Snapped is modified based on the original image, so the final exported photo still has the original resolution of 3264 * 2448. The small picture is uploaded from the original picture. Click the small picture to see the large picture.

The 100% screenshot of the above figure shows that the doomsday wind is very heavy! The detail loss of the photo adjusted with Snapped is basically small. However, since the details of this original picture are not very good, it was taken in the afternoon when it was getting dark, so the sense of smearing in the distance of the original picture was heavier.

Let's compare the original image with the adjusted image. It's hard to imagine that the original image is just so bland after reading the adjusted image. I have to say that Snapsed is really a very powerful map repair software.

After learning to use Snapped to adjust pictures, you can also use your phone directly to adjust amazing HDR photos. Come and try it.
