There is such thing as single frame HDR. And you can do in post processing. It is software emulation that pulls back the detail from shadows and highlights by applying different algorithms and approximations.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There are HDR "effects", sure, but that doesn't make in HDR image.
As per Wikipedia:
"The two primary types of HDR images are computer renderings and images resulting from merging multiple low-dynamic-range (LDR)[5] or standard-dynamic-range (SDR)[6] photographs."
IE, merging together multiple exposures of the same scene.
Raising shadows and lowering highlights is just regular editing.
Exactly. You have just posted a wiki article that contradicts you words mate :)

There are two types of HDR images. Computer renderings and those that are merged from several exposures. Both of those types however are considered HDR images. Peace
Okay, having read through it more than I care to say I'll admit to having misunderstood the Wikipedia article. I guess the line for HDR is more blurry than I thought.
Nothing to worry about. We live and learn. And only smart people admit their mistakes. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range - meaning that it captures detail in the darkest and highlight areas of the image. The way it is revealed is not that important actually. The title stands more for the final result rather than the way it was captured.
