Camera equipment has made great strides in being able to mimic our
visual perception in a single photograph. However, despite all of
this progress, many key limitations still remain. Our eye can discern
a far greater range of light to dark (dynamic range), is able to
realize a broader range of colors (color spaces), and can assess what
is white in a given scene (white balance) far better than any
photographic equipment.
