ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for creating high dynamic range images. One method includes actions of establishing a current set of digital image; displaying a high dynamic range image and information identifying the current set of images, the high dynamic range image being computed from the current set of images; and repeatedly, as long as the user provides user input changing the current set of images, receiving user input changing the current set of images and in response to each user input displaying a high dynamic range image and information identifying the current set of images, where the high dynamic range image is computed from the current set of images.
