Rendering High Dynamic Range (HDR) scenes on media with limited dynamic range began in the Renaissance whereby painters; then photographers; learned to use low-range spatial techniques to synthesize appearances; rather than to reproduce accurately the light from scenes. The Art and Science of HDR Imaging presents a unique scientific HDR approach derived from artistsrsquo; understanding of painting; emphasizing spatial information in electronic imaging. Human visual appearance and reproduction rendition of the HDR world requires spatial-image processing to overcome the veiling glare limits of optical imaging; in eyes and in cameras. Illustrated in full colour throughout; including examples of fine-art paintings; HDR photography; and multiple exposure scenes; this book uses techniques to study the HDR properties of entire scenes; and measures the range of light of scenes and the range that cameras capture. It describes how electronic image processing has been used to render HDR scenes since 1967; and examines the great variety of HDR algorithms used today. Showing how spatial processes can mimic vision; and render scenes as artists do; the book also: Gives the history of HDR from artists spatial techniques to scientific image processing Measures and describes the limits of HDR scenes; HDR camera images; and the range of HDR appearances Offers a unique review of the entire family of Retinex image processing algorithms Describes the considerable overlap of HDR and Color Constancy: two sides of the same coin Explains the advantages of algorithms that replicate human vision in the processing of HDR scenes Provides extensive data to test algorithms and models of vision on an accompanying website www.wiley.com/go/mccannhdr

Now that I am reading the letters between OKeeffe and Stieglitz I can see there are some discrepancies. But nonetheless. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about OKeeffes life. loves and successes. I am glad that I have it both in book format and in Kindle as it makes looking things up much easier.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Most comprehensive bio of Georgia OKeeffeBy Carolyn WickwireAs the Co-Producer of the one-woman play called OKeeffe! by Lucinda McDermott I am frequently asked by members of the audience in-depth questions about Georgia and her life. Having read Full Bloom I can give a comprehensive answer and often add little known facts about this fantastic artist and complex woman.It is a must read for anyone struggling to be the person they want to be. while fitting the mores of everyday life.
