HDR ToneMap: Auto Tone Mapper

Overview

The Auto Tone Mapper works in an entirely automated way. Use it if you are new to HDR and Tone Mapping. With only one setting to play with, it is fun and easy to use. When you have gained more experience, you can switch to the Local Tone Mapper which gives more control.

The Auto Tone Mapper settings are displayed in the High Dynamic Tone Mapping panel when Auto Tone Mapper is selected in the menu located at the top.
