回复：HDR vs. 手工Blending 效果比较

Exposure Blending or HDR
Hey everybody, this is more of an opinion topic than anything else I guess. Or maybe there are real differences that I don't know about. That's what I'm here to find out.

I've been reading posts on here as well as other sites regarding HDR images. The feel I've gotten is that most people, when they see "HDR", they automatically think "Another overdone, cartoonish image", before they even see it. And I'm not here to do get into that whole discussion about what real HDR is, I believe that both the subtle, realistic, as well as the artistic have their places, and there have been images in both categories that I have enjoyed looking at.

But here's where the thread title comes in. I've seen a lot of people that refer to realistic HDR as "Exposure Blending", which is what HDR is, they just don't like using the term "HDR" because of the reasons I stated before, that people automatically start thinking "over-processed image". I just want to make sure that I'm not mistaken and they really are the same thing, just two different terminologies being used for it.

And no, this thread isn't really an important issue lol, just looking to satisfy a curiosity.
