One method I have recently been experimenting with involves splitting an image into its component colours and then forming an HDR image from those components.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.maciomhair.com/Gallery%20MacIomhair/images/HDRBW%20Process.jpg" alt="HDR BW Process" border="0" height="460" width="499" /><br /> <br /> Why go through this lengthy process to produce a black and white image?<br /> <br /> Splitting a colour image to its RGB components produces a very similar result to using a colour filter with black and white film, eg the red channel produces a red filter effect etc. When these elements are recombined as if they were different exposures, the HDR result is rather more interesting than taking a 'normal' HDR image and desaturating it.Morrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551400928833975068.post-67596549426966015112007-10-19T07:35:00.000+01:002007-10-19T07:38:17.188+01:00<script language="JavaScript" src="randimage.js"></script>There is a new random image generator which produces a random thumbnail from the complete collection on the <a href="index.htm">front page</a>.
