Photomatix Pro 2.4

Photomatix is a program that will extend the dynamic range of digital photographs or scanned films.
If you have ever shot a high contrast scene, you probably know the problem blown out highlights and loss of contrast in 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.
Main features:
- 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.
- Noise reduction
The Exposure Blending functions of Photomatix Pro merges 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 cant limit your view to only areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360 panorama. By taking views under several exposures and processing them in Photomatix Pro, your panorama will show details in both the dark and bright areas of the scene.
