What I want from an HDR workflow

Once I've got my HDR camera and my HDR monitor, I'll need new photographic workflow applications to get the images looking the way I want them. I expect that there will be a few parameters that I'll almost always want to tweak, much as I almost always re-crop my photos at the moment. These parameters are likely to be:

  • Colour balance (2D slider)
  • Exposure (slider)
  • Dynamic range compression (slider)
  • Tone mapping radius (slider)

The last two of these reproduce the functionality of current HDR applications, allowing creation of tone-mapped images for non-HDR output (like printing, or legacy monitors).
