What is HDR?
High Dynamic Range
It is a technology that offers more realistic colors by increasing the difference between the brightest and darkest areas in an image.
Overview
In imaging technology, it is a method of bringing the balance of light and shadow closer to what the human eye sees. Thanks to HDR, details in a dark room are not lost, while colors under bright light appear more vivid.
How it works
The camera or screen processes different light levels in the image to provide the highest contrast and color depth.
Where it is used
It is used in games, video editing software, and modern displays.
Commonly confused with
It is often confused with just increasing brightness; HDR is about detail and contrast quality rather than brightness.
Frequently asked questions
