When you consider the quality of Nokia smartphone cameras, we don’t see many apps that can enhance the resultant images. Nokia Beta Labs is looking to change that with HDR Capture and Low-Light Assistant for the Nokia N900.
The HDR Capture application is meant for situations with too much light, especially when the background is bright (e.g., sky) and the foreground has less light (e.g., a person). Using normal camera to capture a single image would typically lead to a black silhouette of the person with a nice sky in the background. HDR Capture measures the brightness of the scene, captures 1-3 images as the user presses the capture button, and combines them into a single image that should show details of both the bright and dark areas.
