Post-Processed HDR with Paint.NET

The latest version of Paint.NET has been released — it’s not quite Photoshop, but it’s free and it’s got a better UI (and is more usable) than GIMP. It’s got a tonne of features, and has a wide variety of plugins to support it.

So, I decided to give it a go and tried making a few changes to my existing HDR images, mostly by equalizing the tones and saturation.

Here are the results – click to view the larger images.

Personally, I think these have come out much better than the originals!

    paint.net sounds cool. ive been working with picasa, but then, mine are hugely personal “people” pics. I used to click just about anything when I first got my Nikon, and then worked on it endlessly.. ah well, time is such a killer :(

    so where is the original for comparison? :)

    Hello and welcome back! :) Well, yeah, I have been contemplating moving everything to Flickr, but I never seem to find the time.

    Paint.NET is really neat, it’s like a free version of photoshop – minus all those features of Photoshop that most of us wouldn’t be using anyway. Besides, it has a lot of plugins that do some of those things.

    And oh, here are my initial attempts at HDR — and if you like that, here is some more HDR (you might have to click read more on some of those articles for the photographs to show up).

    And I’m glad you like the site design! Took some doing.
