SimpleMinded filter for fake extreme HDR efx

You cant use bracketed shots. You cant even use a RAW file. This is HDR for the timid or harried. You will not get any of the traditional benefits of HDRi, which is to compress the entire visual range of data you want to see in a single seemingly normal photograph.

As Fake HDR, this filter will work with the right kind of image, one that already is exposed as perfectly as possible for highlights and shadows, ie, probably best for a cloudy day? For fluorescent lit images? Anything that does not contain black areas that should have visible data, and also contains all the highlites you WANT to see simultaneously.

In other words, this is a filter to make perfectly exposed images of low contrast look like they were shot as bracketed images combined in a REAL HDRi App, whichi for reasons considered inappropriate should not be listed here.

Just know that if you want real HDRi this is the wrong app, but if you want to goof around with perfect exposures, get extreme results, hey, go for it. I like to do both kind of HDRi so its just a misleading title. This is a filter group, period. Nuff said?
