In reply to psylichon. I've only had True HDR for a little while, but I've used Photogene for months on end now. I think the results are different enough based on a couple of test pics I've taken on the iPhone 3GS. I doubt it can be as mind-blowingly stunning as Photoshopped HDR, but it's different and easy enough that it's probably worth a shot.

In reply to Thomas. I understand the differences in technique, I'm just curious if the actual results really are that much different.

In reply to psylichon.

this is actually different than what Photogene does. With Photogene you can only manipulate the levels of one photograph – this app actually takes the highs and lows of two photographs and combines them for a more "true to life" picture, or at least, for a more dramatically lit picture with more visible details.

For an example of what good HDR photography looks like, see here: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-d…

For anyone that uses this and Photogene extensively, how much better is TrueHDR compared to exposure and level control in Photogene? I've never been disappointed with my results using Photogene, but I'm curious if this does something better.
