L’HDR (High Dynamic Range) or HDRI it’s a fascinating tecnique used in computer graphic or photography that consists to make photos with different exposure to have the “dark” zones well shown in the images with high exposure while “light” zones being well shown in the images with less exposure. General a normal picture is 24 bit, an HDR pic can be 32 bit. The father of this tecnique is Paul Debevec.
