HDR files exist as 2 different types. Please find information about each of them below.

HDR software can composite photos with different exposures to create a single image with full, evenly distributed color range. The HDR file format provides improved color accuracy and bit-depth, allowing better color sets. This makes it superior for high dynamic range image processing. The file extension is usually .hdr.
HDR files are raster images saved in the High Dynamic Range format used by HDRsoft to enhance image color and brightness. This allows correcting dark shadows or washed out areas. Multiple photos with different exposures are composed into a single image with full, evenly distributed range.
The HDR format has wider dynamic range than traditional formats, allowing more accurate highlights and shadows. This results in greater tonal depth. The human eye adapts to broad, dynamic changes in our environment. HDR techniques reproduce this range so images appear natural.
HDR files store color images in 64-bit format and grayscales in 32-bit. Adobe Photoshop can open and create HDR files. The pixel data is usually uncompressed but sometimes compressed using run length encoding. The format improves on Radiance Picture (.pic) files.

HDR files are used to enhance digital images. They fix dark shadows and washed-out areas. HDR software combines multiple photos to create images with an even color range.
HDR files are saved as ASCII text. An HDR file has a .hdr extension. The file describes a related image file’s layout and formatting. It allows software to translate the images into real world coordinates.
There are two main types of HDR files:
High Dynamic Range image files created by HDRsoft’s software to enhance photos. GIS Header files containing metadata for Band Interleaved by Line (BIL) images used in ArcGIS.
Image HDR files can be edited in programs like Adobe Photoshop and HDRsoft Photomatix. GIS HDR files work with ArcGIS to georeference BIL images.
The key to editing HDR files is understanding their purpose and format – whether they are image or GIS files. The image files enhance photos while the GIS files store spatial data formatting. Both serve important roles in visualizing imagery.
