EDIT : Well, looking at Apple's examples, if the HDR-enabled photo is effectively the one on the left, it may be the case...

No, surely it is the one on the right? Having looked at a lot of HDR previews, and personally used the 3G/3GS and 4 cameras, the level of background detail in non HDR would be in line with the first image. The iPhone really only focuses on the main item in the plane of view and really, really doesn't deal with too much/too little light.

Okay, so in that case there are some peoples in the world who know how to use HDR properly. Good to know ;) Edited 2010-09-09 12:25 UTC Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Neolander) Comments RE[3]: HDR photography http://www.osnews.com/thread?440307 http://www.osnews.com/thread?440307

I installed 4.1 last night - the difference is noticeable. The results are literally astounding! It can't make you a better photographer, but it for sure makes a real difference. The bst part - it saves you a non HDR copy by default, so you can see how much better the picture really is. Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:17:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (henderson101) Comments
