Introducing Pro HDR Camera, the world's first real HDR app for Android! From the team that created Pro HDR for iOS, now you can automatically create stunning full-resolution HDR images with just a single tap on your Android phone. Please note that this app has been tested to work properly on Motorola, HTC and most Samsung phones. However, if you have a LG, Sony, or other device, the HDR capability may not function properly.

Full functionality has been verified on the following phones:
* HTC: Thunderbolt, EVO 4G, MyTouch 4G, G2, Incredible, Desire, Legend, Bravo
* Motorola: Droid, Droid 2, Droid X
* Samsung: Galaxy S, Epic 4G, Galaxy Nexus (!)

Sorry, CM7 is not yet supported. Coming soon!

We've just released Pro HDR Camera for Android, but here are a few professional reviews of our iPhone version:

"If you ever take photos using your iPhone, this app is a must-have." - Gizmodo

"Pro HDR leaps ahead of the pack... Even if you're not into HDR photography, this is one to check out." - TUAW

"Picture Perfection: Pro HDR automatically aligns and blends the images, giving you a perfectly exposed, amazing image that rivals a high-end point-and-shoot camera" - NBC Los Angeles

Thanks to Pro HDR Camera, you no longer have to choose between a blown-out sky or a hopelessly dark foreground. Bringing automatic high dynamic range photography to your Android phone for the first time ever, Pro HDR captures an image exposed for the highlights and another exposed for the shadows. It then aligns and merges the images, giving you a gorgeous HDR image up to 8 megapixels 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. We provide a fully automatic mode, and an assisted Manual mode for those times when you wish to choose your exact exposures. Finally, you can take stunning high-resolution photos of all those scenes that are just too contrasty to capture in a single picture.

Not only will seasoned photographers instantly fall in love with Pro HDR, one look at our example images should convince anyone that Pro HDR represents a new era in mobile photography.

Pro HDR Camera for Android comes with these incredibly useful features:

• Automatic in-app HDR capture, where all you have to do is tap to capture

• Manual in-app photo capture, where you get to choose the exposure of each image in your HDR

• Proprietary image alignment algorithm that precisely aligns full-size images in seconds

• Sophisticated image blending creates one beautiful output image nearly instantly

• Live-updating image adjustment sliders to perfect your HDR:
Choose the perfect brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and tint, or let Pro HDR automatically maximize image quality.

• Take pictures using hardware buttons (volume up/down or the shutter button if your phone has one)

• Silent capture (mute your shutter sounds for quiet capture)

• Fullscreen image preview in portrait and landscape orientation

• Save HDR images at the full resolution of your camera, up to 8 megapixels

• Seamless background processing that renders your HDRs while you keep on shooting

• Built-in HDR gallery view to peruse, share, and re-edit your HDRs

• Share your HDRs with the world with e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, and more

IMPORTANT: Pro HDR Camera requires Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later. Pro HDR Camera works on Motorola, HTC and Samsung devices. The exposure functions on LG phones and the Nexus S seem to be broken, so HDR functionality will likely not work (though the rest of the features will). The Nexus S doesn't truly adjust the exposure, but seems to darken or brighten the image in software as a post-processing step. CM7 Not supported!

So far I like it, considering it's a phone camera we are working with I think it does a good job. Sprint EVO 4G (Edited 5-31-11) I'm enjoying it now that I've had it for a few days. The only thing that would make it better is to allow where to save the pictures, say like the memory card. (Edited 9/9/2011) I found out it DOES save the pictures to the card.

This is nice to play with, but it doesn't produce really professional results. In particular, limited control over local contrast, etc., leads to significant halos.

Thanks for adding the Galaxy-S! Works well in manual mode, effects are a little less obvious in automatic mode. Image matching is very well done. Odd: Manual mode allows a bracket of -2..+2, but auto mode shows exposures well beyond these limits (e.g. -4, +3 etc.). Still, I like the app.

Worked great for first photo. Now it will not show photo and will not save. EVO
