In depth

A closer look at Photomatix Pro 2.0

Photomatix extends 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:

Exposure blending: combining images taken at different exposures into one image with increased dynamic range
Tone Mapping: processing a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to compress its tonal range while preserving local contrast.

The result is an image that you can display on standard monitors, while preserving the details of the original scene in highlights and shadows.

Photomatix Demo is a trial version. A watermark will be printed on images produced via tone Mapping and 4 of the 6 combination methods. All other features are free for Non-Commercial use.
