HDR effect created on single photo to correct dark areas
and increase range
Photo editing request (example):
"I am a professional photographer. I have
this beautiful landscape photo. Unfortunately I did
not bracket the shot. Can you simulate an HDR (High
Dynamic Range) effect? I wish to retain all the detail
in the sky, while bringing out more detail in the shadows
in the foreground."

What is HDR?
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging allows a greater dynamic
range between the lightest and darkest areas of an photograph
than what standard digital imaging techniques or photographic
methods. The wide dynamic range allows HDR images to more
accurately represent the range of intensity levels found in
real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.
This is generaly captured by way of differently exposed photographs
of the same subject in the same setting.
Photo editing professionals are familiar with the issues of
low dynamic range. If you brighten an image, some information
is lost irretrievably. And then darkening the image after
brightening does not restore the original appearance. Instead,
all of the highlights appear flat and washed out.
HDR photographs are generally achieved by capturing multiple
photographs, using exposure bracketing, and then merging them
into an HDR image. But the above 'before and after' is an
example of HDR simulation done right on a single photograph
using advanced photo editing skills.
