Description
Dynamic Light gives you the best and most vibrant HDR-like look on any mobile platform. And this is all accomplished from just a single image using only a single dial. Rotate the dial to the right and you get the very same HDR look you had admired on many photographic sites.
What others say:
"In one word, "WOW". This is a quick, simple app, with stunning effects that has just set a new standard in single photo HDR apps, and all for a bargain price." iPhoneography.com review.
"If you like to experiment with your photos and create totally unique looks, then Dynamic Light is definitely a HDR app you should check out for some crazy results." AppAdvice.com review.
"Dynamic Light does an excellent job of expanding the dynamic color range and luminosity of iPhone photos, giving them the qualities of a bracketed HDR image without the alignment problems of some HDR apps or the flat, lifeless look of most “pseudo-HDR” apps" lifeinlofi.com review
Don't let the virtual simplicity of our app fool you. Inside is a highly optimized full-blown proprietary processing taken directly from our DPHDR desktop application.
Unlike other apps that look complex outside while cutting you short on the actual processing we designed Dynamic Light the other way around to really show you that the shiny new iPhone and iPod touch can actually crunch the same data a desktop computer can.
You can use the build-in camera or load image from the album. For our testing we even downloaded images from our professional DSLR camera and the iPone chewed through it in nearly the same time like on our desktop. That says a lot about our code optimization and the wizards in Cupertino who designed the hardware.
As a special treat we also included few not-so typical effects that are a good match for the HDR look like Orton, Sepia, Vignette, Mysterious Light etc.
There are also two special designed effect Comic and Manga. You have to really save the images with those effects and look at them in Photos or on your computer in bigger size.
The new second page of effects has now few HDR specific effects that are very sensitive to the strength dial and produce anything from just a hint of tone-mapping to totally overblown HDR effect.
Those effects (like the little understood Ultra Contrast from previous version) are build with enough headroom for punchy images and are not really mean to be used with the dial all the way to the ceiling (this is probably what many people did in previous version with Ultra Contrast and disliking the overblown result).
Some tips: The HDR look works best on landscape and outdoor pictures especially with cloudy skies and lot of textures. This also minimizes the camera noise. Large flat surfaces without a texture are not a good match for this effect, nor are portrait photos, unless you are after particular effect.
We hope you will have fun with this app and take some amazing shots.
This of course is build for the Retina display, we wouldn't want it any other way. (some people asked).
We are committed to make this the best pseudo HDR app.
✭News✭ We have make the Dynamic Light for MAC as well. Check it in app store.

Fantastic
Edit: I've been having issues with the app occasionally not saving my photo. This tends to get annoying b/c when you switch to another app from this one, you lose your work and have to start over.
Note - This is not a "true" HDR app. It only works off of one photo. That said -
While it's not for *every* photo, this app is awesome for rescuing those shots that I didn't have the time or ability to take with Pro HDR. Plus it has some cool effects that are great (especially Orton). I like that you can adjust how much of the effect you want. The one negative is that photos tend to become pretty grainy, although i guess that's to be expected. Overall, it's one of my most used apps!
Great but.. buggy since last updat
I love this app. It takes photos and gives you the ability to add creative touches, change the mood, the look and feel. All good.
Whats bad. It has started NOT SAVING the images. It process the image, says "result" and then when you leave the app the photo is not saved. I have reinstalled twice. A feature that would be nice. When you leave the app and return your last photo is still there so you can do additional work if need be. Over all wonderful, however 4 Stars because its become buggy since the last update
worth it
I really dig this app but I only use a few of the filters. Granted the few that I use (dynamic, dutch, mysterious, blue tint, red tint and orton) I love.
The filters released in the last update I found lame and junky... but this is still one of my favorite photo editing apps.
