HDR Photography with an iPhone?!

Press release
Thanks to Pro HDR, you no longer have to choose between a blown-out sky or a hopelessly dark foreground. Bringing high dynamic range photography to your iPhone, Pro HDR lets you capture an image exposed for the highlights and another exposed for the shadows. It then automatically aligns and blends the images, giving you a gorgeous 3-megapixel HDR image like nothing you’ve ever seen from such a tiny device.
Unlike fake HDR apps that merely take a single photo and reprocess it (without actually adding any new detail), Pro HDR massively extends the dynamic range of your camera and produces beautiful results that you have to see to believe. Plus, Pro HDR is the only real HDR app for iPhone that processes your photos at full resolution for the ultimate quality. Now you can take stunning high-resolution photos of all those scenes that are just too contrasty to capture in a single picture.
Pro HDR comes with these incredibly useful features:
• In-app photo capture, where you get to choose the exposure of each image in your HDR
• Photo library support, where you can make HDRs from your saved images
• Proprietary image alignment algorithm that aligns full-size images in seconds
• Seamless image blending creates one beautiful output image nearly instantly
• Live-updating image adjustment sliders to perfect your HDR
• Fullscreen image preview in portrait and landscape orientation
• Saves HDR images at the full 3 megapixel resolution of your camera
• Built-in e-mail support lets you share your HDRs with the world
Pro HDR, created by eyeApps LLC, is available for $1.99 on the App Store.

    Thank you for the note on HDR App BUT it’s for iPhone 3GS only. Hmmmm. Would be a valuable follow-up to learn if it does anything with iPhone 3G with which many of us are stuck for another year or so. And if the company is seeking a way to fit their terrific App to the older equipment. Happy NewYear
