HDR Imagery: What & How
High Dynamic Range digital photography has only been around for a couple years. It entails shooting multiple exposures -- 1 to 3 increasingly overexposed, and 1 to 3 increasingly underexposed. And you take a shot at regular exposure, of course. Photoshop merges the images in to one, with the result being great detail in the highlights (which are usually bleached and washed-out), and great detail in the shadows (which are usually just blackness). That's why the extra shots are taken -- to capture all the details in all the areas of the frame. It is an awesome new technology, and as one might suspect, the output is a massive file (anywhere from 60 to 100MB). Photoshop encodes it first, then you generally pick a high quality format with which to re-save (reformat) your creation -- usually TIFF -- in order to disseminate it.

It makes them feel more valuable -- as in identity, person, and job. The crutch that is the cult of christianity tends to lessen awareness of their ignorance and inherent epistemological weakness(es). But such effects do not come without cost. Cognitive dissonance pushes them to find an easy scapegoat/target that cannot fight back. They blame a portion of the populace that struggles due to circumstantial constraint and genetic predisposition, along with blind luck and/or underserved encumbrance. It justifies their hypocritical and contradictory beliefs/feelings that are deeply separatist, even racist. As god's chosen, they have to look down on others so that that disgusting myth can seem more likely. What a sad joke they are.
