- If you have ever photographed a high contrast scene, you know that even the best exposure will typically have blown out highlights and flat shadows.
Photomatix offers two ways to solve this problem:
› Exposure Blending: Merge differently exposed photographs into one image with increased dynamic range. › Tone Mapping: Reveal highlight and shadow details in an HDR image created from multiple exposures. The tone mapped image is ready for printing while showing the complete dynamic range captured.
Features:
Photomatix Pro is a stand-alone program that runs on Mac OS X and Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista. The Tone Mapping tool is also available separately as a plugin compatible with Photoshop CS2.
The benefits of using Photomatix Pro include: › Saving on lighting equipment Given that most digital cameras can auto-bracket at different exposures, you do not need to acquire expensive lighting equipment -and carry it- when shooting high contrast scenes. Just enable Auto Exposure Bracketing, and let Photomatix merge your photos into an image with extended dynamic range.
› Saving time in post-processing Photomatix Pro is designed for productivity -- automatic blending, unlimited stacking, easy comparison of results and batch processing save hours of masking and layers work in image editing programs.
› Taking advantage of your 32-bit images Have you created a 32-bit HDR image in Photoshop CS2 and could not get a good HDR conversion? The Photomatix Tone Mapping tool may help. See how it compares to Photoshop CS2 HDR conversion.
› Great pictures on cloudy days Shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually results in dull-looking photographs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix Pro can turn them into great-looking images. Check this image as example.
› Noise reduction The Exposure Blending functions of Photomatix Pro merge any number of bracketed photos -- this process is equivalent to image stacking, which tends to reduce noise in the resulting image.
› Well exposed panoramas A panoramic scene is almost always a high contrast scene -- you can't limit your view to areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360° panorama. By taking views under several exposures and processing them in Photomatix Pro, you can create a panorama that will show details in both the dark and bright areas of the scene.
Updated in v3.1.3 - Tighter integration with Lightroom. HDR options are now set from the Lightroom plug-in and the processed image can be automatically re-imported into the Lightroom library. - Bug fixed: Processing files in Canon sRaw format caused an exception. - Bug fixed: Transfer of exif data was not always taking the information of the normal exposure. - Bug fixed: When tone mapping an HDR image file that was previously saved as Radiance in Photomatix Pro, the color profile was not properly embedded. - Bug fixed: When strip processing option had been enabled for HDR generation in batch processing, checking the blending methods at the same time made the batch return an error. - Bug fixed: Processing source images in the BMP format returned an error.
