![]() ![]() You can also pinch zoom your image while making all of these adjustments to better see the details. Fusion then blends the best exposed areas of the three photos to create a more well-balanced image.įrom here, you can further adjust the look of your image through a number of edit settings including Shadows, Highlights, Exposure, Contrast, Sharpen, Intensity, White Balance and Saturation/Warmth. The editor instantly aligns the multiple photos taken for each shot to remove any slight camera movement, and then provides you with an initial “fused” result. This manual option is great to have, but I found that the Auto setting did a great job nearly every time.įusion also offers many of the standard options found in nearly all camera apps including exposure lock, focus lock, a self-timer, and even an anti-shake feature.Ī helpful histogram at the bottom of the screen gives you immediate, real-time feedback on the exposure levels of your current scene.Īfter capturing an image (or more accurately, a series of three images taken at different exposures), you can either take additional photos and edit later, or you can go directly to Fusion’s built-in editor. You can simply allow Fusion’s bracketing to be automatically determined based on an algorithmic analysis of the scene, or you can manually set the exposure range of the brackets at either two (2.0) or three (3.0) stops over- and under-exposed. Here’s an example of the three different exposures that resulted when I pressed the shutter button.īelow is the resulting image after the Fusion app has combined them – the photo has detail in the shadows, highlights and midtones. This reduces the possibility of camera shake and helps to ensure that the three images can be easily aligned into a single image. This approach is often referred to as “bracketing.”īy leveraging the new burst mode in iOS 8, Fusion makes its three bracketed exposures in only 3/10ths of a second. The result is an image that overcomes the limited range of a digital image sensor and better represents what the human eye can actually see.įusion starts off like most HDR apps in that it takes three photos in rapid succession, all at different exposures and then combines them into one image. These apps create HDR iPhone photos by capturing multiple, yet different exposures of the exact same image and then combining them into one photo with a more balanced overall exposure. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of HDR(high dynamic range) apps, here’s a quick overview. Fusion is available to download from the App Store for $1.99. (the same developer that brought us the excellent, yet underrated PhotoToaster app). The latest entry in the list of HDR apps is Fusion HDR Camera, and in this article we’ll take a look to see if it’s just another run-of-the-mill HDR app, or if it’s unique enough to stand out from the crowd.įusion has been developed by East Coast Pixels, Inc. With so many HDR apps available these days, do we really need another one? Well, the answer to that question really depends on how much you like those HDR apps that are currently available. ![]()
