<meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

<h2><a name="intro"></a>Introduction to High Dynamic-Range Images</h2>
<div class="doc-section">
<p>High dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) permits a far greater dynamic range of exposures (i.e. a large difference between light and dark areas) than standard digital imaging techniques. HDRI accurately represents the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the brightest direct sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows. The HDR imaging approach includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>render/capture floating-point color space</li>
<li>encompass the entire perceivable gamut (extend values outside [0,1] range)</li>
<li>post-process in extended color space</li>
<li>apply tone-mapping for specific display</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2><a name="enable"></a>Enabling HDRI in ImageMagick</h2>
<div class="doc-section">
<p>By default, image pixels in ImageMagick are stored as unsigned values that range from 0 to the quantum depth, which is typically 16-bits (Q16). With HDRI enabled, the pixels are stored in a floating-point representation and can include negative values as well as values that exceed the quantum depth. A majority of digital image formats do not support HDRI, and for those images any pixels outside the quantum range are clamped before they are stored.</p>
<p>The most promising HDR image format is EXR. You must have the <a href="http://www.openexr.org">OpenEXR</a> delegate library installed to read or write this format. Other HDR formats include TIFF 48-bit integer and 96-bit float formats, HDR, PFM, and ImageMagick's own MIFF format.</p>
<p>To enable the HDRI version of ImageMagick, use this Unix/Linux command:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>./configure --enable-hdri</span></p>
<p>Under Windows, set the <kbd>MAGICKCORE_HDRI_SUPPORT</kbd> definition in the <kbd>magick-config.h</kbd> configuration file and build.</p>
<p>To verify HDRI is properly configured, look for "HDRI" in the version string:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>identify -version</span><span class='crtout'>Version: ImageMagick 6.6.1-4 2010-04-15 Q16 HDRI http://www.imagemagick.org</span></p>
