My guess are that these are HDR processed images?

Actually not ... both images were taken off 4K video on my Mavic 2 Pro ... using VLC I found the image in the video and grabbed a frame.

I then used Luminar 4 Landscape AI auto settings to obtain the image ... and then added a little sharpening manually.

The original images looked washed out, but the Luminar process cleaned up some of the highlights and made them pop a little more.

Very well done.

Wow. This indicates some pretty amazing dynamic range in the video. Was the original video shot in Normal, D-Log, pr D-Cinelike mode? H.264 or H265?

The original was just taken in Normal mode .. H265 ... I'm very much an amateur when it comes to video and photography ... and probably trust auto modes too much ... but being a novice, like to concentrate on being a safe flyer and getting the photos I can.

I will have to say Luminar 4 has really taken my final images to a new level, without much of a learning curve .... have been happy with it.

Good to hear about Luminar 4 as I purchased it about a month ago.
