HDR images are very different and cannot be compared with any other images. Several photos are taken in high-contrast at different exposures. These photos are mixed to get a natural look while deleting the blow out and shadows.

HDR comes under the cropping or editing technology where you use a photo editing software to create different dynamic ranges in one single photo.

The standard meaning of HDR:

The images we click are in 8-bit format, which shows only 0-225 colors that ranges from black to white. These photos do not show different colors, which are in the original frame and sometimes mix up white and black, forming grey shades in pictures.

The boom of digital photo processing gave an end to old film printing technique and opened a new face of photography.

Now the photos are not processed through “negative”, but the photos taken in a digital camera has two options to store:

• Memory cards
• Stored on computer hard disk

Memory card present in the digital camera stores the pictures. The images clicked automatically store in the memory card and the memory ranges from 64 MB to 10 GB.

Storing on a computer hard disk is not a big deal if you have a memory card reader. There are different types of card readers, select the reader which suits your memory card.
