TrueHDR requires you to manually 1) tap on a bright region 2) wait for the image to stabilize 3) take a picture 4) tap on a dark region 5) wait again 6) take a second picture...
Sounds like a user experience that needed Apple's attention to me.
- tyng 16y agoI wonder if HDR can be done digitally and automatically, so the whole process is just one click? Otherwise there's no real point putting the feature on a phone
- glhaynes 16y agoThat's what iOS 4.1 does.
- Readct 16y agoFrom the article: "Yuanzhen Li and Michael Parker have been offering TrueHDR for the iPhone for many months. It works well, and I have found the results impressive when it's used properly. The developers say they wrote to Steve Jobs last year requesting more control over the camera, and they submitted a detailed work-flow that pretty much matches what Jobs announced yesterday. Oh well."
- jonhendry 16y agoUm, HDR isn't exactly a big secret that Apple couldn't figure out themselves without this "help".
- czhiddy 16y agoA "detailed work flow" that consists of taking multiple exposure shots and merging them together with local tone mapping? That's the textbook definition of HDR.
- elblanco 16y agoSo wait, is Apple just mining the app store and its developers for development ideas to lift now?
