ADR - Adaptive Dynamic Range

ADR is the "little brother" of HDR (High Dynamic Range). Instead of implementing a full HDR-workflow, ADR works with 2 different exposures, one exposed towards the highlights, one towards the shadows.  The viewer then dynamically calculates the correct visual appearance based on the brightness of the visible part of the scene.

This demo is based on the SPi-V viewer technology.
