Microsoft Geodesic High-Dynamic-Range Photography Tool is a simple tool for combining photos with varying exposures into a single, well-balanced, high-dynamic-range photo.
Reviewing 1.0 (May 13, 2012)
As others have already noted, this program doesn't work at least not in Win7 64-bit and 6g's of RAM hence the very low rating that I give it. I even downloaded the NET4 since it first gave me the nag to do so. After that, no more nag, just no launch. Hopefully the Microsoft Developers will fix this hiccup next week, but doubt that will happen.

According to Research Help
Instructions
This tool is intended to be as easy, intuitive and automatic as possible. Here is how to use it:
1. Install GeoHDRPhoto on a Microsoft Windows 7, 64 bit machine.
2. Drag and drop three jpg photos of the same scene captured with different exposures.
? Automatic image alignment. When shooting you can avoid using a tripod, but please have a steady hand.
? High-Dynamic Range. The tone-mapped HDR image is created automatically.
? Geodesic texture flattening. Finally this tool can add an edge-preserving texture softening effect.
3. Save the tone-mapped HDR photo or its flattened version into file.
As others already mentioned, this program doesn't work, at least in 64-bit Win7 with AMD processor and 8Gs of RAM. Hopefully an update will get released this coming week. :)
