Ok, so here is a real bugaboo of a question:  Now that most of us have a clue about HDR images, how are these images to be viewed and seen as close to potential as possible?

 

The typical monitor and .jpg files will not do it.   Sure, the web and basic prints do show a fine image with wonderful cover of the scene from white to black, etc.   Yet, how does the “real thing” really look?  Is it closer to what our eyes actually see?

 

Are there monitors capable with the right chip and cards to display HDR properly?

Would the “backlit” film printed images sometimes seen  do it justice?

Will an advanced or normal printing company be able to print at full potential of the HDR image?

 

I want to see how the stuff looks before conversion to 8bit or even 16bit.   Does anyone have an answer to this? 

 

Thanks.          Tom.
