Exposure Merger 2.25.4

Exposure Merger 2.25.4 is considered as a simple and salutary freeware which is designed to build stereo photographs.
It offers an Exposure Merger function that can be used with non-stereo photographs, without taking into account the original stereo goal of the software. It takes an overexposed photograph and a subexposed photograph, and merge them together in a tunable way to build a new photograph taking only the well exposed parts of each original. It is also possible to produce 2 artificial exposures with a single photograph, using a gamma filter, and then to merge them together exactly like if it where 2 original differently exposed photographs.

PhoneTone'r 1.1 is an easy to use, high performance AppleScript application that will automatically dial any telephone number copied to the clipboard! It requires you to place the mouthpiece of your touch-tone phone close to your computer speaker. PhoneTone'r will convert a word number to its proper numerical format and also copy it back to the clipboard (in case you need to paste it into a document).
XBlend 1.3
XBlend uses an intelligent method to vary the way images are blended based on the subject matter more>>
For areas having sudden color changes, such as a door frame, images are blended over a narrow area as our minds expect sharp transitions in those areas. Input images are created using the Multi-image tiff option in PTMac or PTBatch then processed using XBlend.
A free front-end for Enblend, XBlend is useful for seamlessly blending already positioned images into a final panorama.
Alternatively, enblend can be used directly by PTMac and PTBatch by selecting the Enblend TIFF or Enblend PSD options.
XBlend gives the user a simple interface for using enblend. The user loads the images on the first tab, sets the desired blending options on the second tab and presses the blend button.

Halftone 1.1
Halftone is a beneficial and easy-to-use iMovie plug-in that converts your clip to half-tone (color or b/w). more>>
Halftone 1.1 is a beneficial and easy-to-use iMovie plug-in that converts your clip to half-tone (color or b/w). As with all the plugs, you can choose the area of effect on the clip's surface directly.
But what, exactly, is half-toning? Halftoning is an old technique to create grayscale (or, later, shades of color) images when one has only one color (usually black). This simple, yet ingenious technique is still employed in most printers. Applying this plug to your clips gives them an early eighties era look.
Photomatix Basic 1.0
Photomatix Basic - Extends dynamic range of digital photos/scanned films more>>
Exposure blending: combining images taken at different exposures into one image with increased dynamic range
Tone Mapping: processing a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to compress its tonal range while preserving local contrast.
The result is an image that you can display on standard monitors, while preserving the details of the original scene in highlights and shadows.
Jaspers DRIMaker 1.21
Jaspers DRIMaker - automatically create HDRI pictures from your photos more>>
So in the end, the manual technique that people do in e.g. Photoshop, is simulated.
You will find more information about this kind of technique on this page. Everything you need is an exposure sequence in JPEG/TIFF format.
My aim in this implementation is to get the most natural results, as i think that for photographers the whole DRI thing is made to compensate the bad dynamic range of digital sensors. If the final image has a greater dynamic range than the human eyes could normally adapt to, you have gone much too far imho.
Enhancements:
- Saving is possible again (in v1.2 was a missing connection!)
