Wide Dynamic Range
'Wide dynamic range' (WDR) describes an attribute of an imaging system which can capture greater scene details from shadows to highlights than normal. Having "wide dynamic range" is a relative term that can describe both the capability of a sensor or other imaging system, as well as the contents of an image file containing such data. The amount of dynamic range in an image which would qualify as 'wide' changes over time as new systems are developed. Wide dynamic range is desirable in both photographic and video systems as it allows greater latitude to manipulate captured images after the fact.

Famous quotes containing the words wide, dynamic and/or range:
“This wide and universal theatre
Presents more woeful pageants than the scene
Wherein we play in.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We Americans have the chance to become someday a nation in which all radical stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically. We can become a dynamic equilibrium, a harmony of many different elements, in which the whole will be greater than all its parts and greater than any society the world has seen before. It can still happen.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
“The Canadians of those days, at least, possessed a roving spirit of adventure which carried them further, in exposure to hardship and danger, than ever the New England colonist went, and led them, though not to clear and colonize the wilderness, yet to range over it as coureurs de bois, or runners of the woods, or, as Hontan prefers to call them, coureurs de risques, runners of risks; to say nothing of their enterprising priesthood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
