About hdrview

A simple research-oriented image viewer with an emphasis on examining and comparing high-dynamic range (HDR) images.

What's new in 2.8.0

What's changed This release focuses on refinements to the UI and improvements to metadata extraction and display. - XMP parsing (via the TinyXML2 library) - In addition to displaying the raw XMP text, the parsed XMP data is now displayed in a tree structure much like EXIF data - Since the amount of metadata that HDRView extracts from images has increased, the Info panel now has a dropdown for which metadata to look at (General, Header, EXIF, XMP, Raw XMP data) - HDRView now extracts metadata and colorspace/ICC profile information for PSD images - Fixed an issue where PNG EXIF and XMP metadata wasn't being extracted properly - XMP metadata is now extracted from TIFF files - Minor layout/sizing tweaks to Help/About dialog Precompiled binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux available below. Full Changelog: v2.7.1...v2.8.0
