Quote: Tonemapping is what you do to HDR images to display them on low dynamic range media - monitors/prints etc.
Not quite sure what you mean here? How else would one display HDR images except on a monitor or as a print? Or are you refering to digital projectors?
We are getting off the subject a little though, I understand the method of taking three or five images with a different exposure value and then combining them in Photoshop to arrive at the final image with everything from extreme highlight to full shadow detail. Is this what is done when 'tone mapping' or is it related to enhancement of selected areas on a single image, which of course is something entirely different?
