Photomatrix Pro 2.4
If you have ever photographed a high contrast scene, you know that the correct exposure will not avoid 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 highlights and shadows details in an HDR image created from multiple exposures. The tone mapped image is ready for printing while showing the complete dynamic range captured.
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
A shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually result in dull-looking photographs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix Pro can turn them into great-looking images. Check this image as example.
