Load your photos taken under different exposures and merge them into an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image that has all the details of your scene, from its deepest shadows to its brightest highlights. You don't need a tripod to take the bracketed exposures, as Photomatix Pro automatically align your images. It also offers a ghost removal tool, with both automatic and advanced selection options, to deal with dynamic scenes, when people of objects moved between the bracketed photos.
You can choose between a large range of styles from the most "natural" looking to surreal or grunge, then fine tune the image using a large range of settings. With six different Tone Mapping and Exposure Fusion HDR methods, Photomatix Pro let you find an HDR preset that works well for your scene and photographic style.
Choose from 40 built-in presets to quickly get a particular look, or use them as a starting point for further adjustments. You can also create your own presets or import presets created by others.
Finish your image with contrast and sharpening options, or crop it to remove distractions and improve the photo's composition. You can also straighten your photo if the horizon isn't straight or vertical objects like buildings aren't vertical.
You can use Photomatix Pro with just one photo, to enhance it with an HDR "Look", or just add some subtle contrast enhancements. If your photo is a RAW file, you can choose the "Enable Exposure Fusion" option to let Photomatix create derive exposures from your RAW file and fuse them.
Automate the HDR processing when you return from a photo shoot, and let Photomatix create the HDR images with your preferred preset and settings while you do something else.
