High Dynamic Range (HDR) refers to an imaging technique that provides a wider range of luminosity than standard digital photography. In other words, HDR captures more light detail at both the bright and dark ends of the spectrum.

HDR allows photographers to combine differences in exposure that occur across depth of field. For example, instead of blowing out the background and underexposing foreground subjects, an HDR image combines two or more photos taken at different exposures to create a more colorful image.
There are a few ways to create an HDR image in GIMP. Here we will discuss how to create an HDR image in GIMP using the Exposure Blend plugin.
First, download a copy of the Exposure Blend plugin. While the GIMP Plugin Registry is no longer available, you can still find old versions of the plugin in the GIMP repository on GitHub.
