Reinhard Tone Mapping

Two parameters may be set for the Reinhard Tone Mapping: these are Saturation level and Brightness factor.

Saturation level is the input intensity level that will be brought back to 1. Setting this parameter to a high value preserves high-intensity lights.

Brightness factor enables the user to control brightness after processing. Setting this parameter to a high value leads to a light final image.

In order to use Sub-pixel correction, the corresponding box must be ticked. The Sub-pixel correction option limits aliasing phenomena in the HDR images.
