 Beginner iPhone Photographers
 Advanced iPhone Photographers
<strong>√ Anyone</strong>

PRO HDR is for anyone who’s shooting a lot of photos using an iPhone. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, this app is a must-have as it vastly improves the quality of your shots, even those taken in low-light! The advanced users though may still opt to process HDR photos using Adobe Photoshop for more flexibility but if you’re always on the move, this app will surely come handy. 

[/tab] [tab id="5"]Arguably, PRO HDR is by far the most intelligent and flexible HDR photo app in the market today.[/tab] [/tabswrap]

<h4>The Beginners Lens Verdict</h4>

PRO HDR understands what most users want for an app: something that offers options for different shooting circumstances and delivers good results.

With PRO HDR, iPhoneographers have two shooting options: Automatic HDR and Manual HDR. If you don’t feel like taking multiple shots and are in a hurry for a ready result, just choose Auto HDR and all you have to do is to tap on the screen and you’re good to go. If you're in the mood to be really creative, there is Manual HDR more which enables you to choose the brightness and darkness for each of the HDR that are captured.

Before saving the finale image, PRO HDR will give you the freedom to adjust settings such as saturation, brightness, contrast, and tint to get a better output. This is unlike other HDR apps where the final photo is as is – what you shoot is what you get.

So why did we say that this app is clever? PRO HDR prompts you to instruct him to take a photo of a dark and bright part of a scene. Then it will automatically “align” the pictures and blend it together. The result is an HDR photo that reveals what your eyes see but your iPhone camera could not.

However, you may be displeased with the time it takes for the camera to process the shots. It may be difficult for some to stand still while the app is in the rendering stage. But hey, you will be amazed of the results. While these may not be as good as what DSLRs can offer, still these are way above what a regular camera phone can deliver. Between Pro HDR and iPhone 4’s built-in HDR function? Pro HDR blows away the competition by a mile. 

It is such a pity though that the dev hasn’t integrated sharing photos to sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr especially now that online photo sharing is a trend. 

Overall, if you do not have any similar app installed in your iPhone yet, we suggest you try this out. At $1.99, we honestly think that it’s quite a bargain already.
