    An HDR image contains the dynamic range of the scene. Basically HDR image is set of merged exposures. High dynamic range (HDR) images  represent the entire dynamic range of the visible world. HDR Toning containing the Presets when you select any preset it's automatically set the exposure, shadow & highlights.

    HDR image are stored using a floating-point numeric representation that’s 32 bits long (32bits-per-channel). 32-bit HDR image features a greater dynamic range than a 16-bit. HDR images are created when you merged different photograph at different exposures. If you want to print that images or use filter on it that don't work with HDR Image. you can also convert them to 16- or 8bpc images.
