Fortunately, I found an outstanding tutorial online at that helped me get the most out of Photomatix Pro. I knocked the app down a half a star because the interface is kinda clunky and fugly (the dev should just copy Lightroom's interface), and because the user manual does not help at all to explain the basic concepts of tone-mapping, fusion merging and deghosting (it simply explains what each slider and adjustment does). Exposure merging is a bonus feature in Photomatix Pro that isn't included in most other HDR apps. I have not yet used any of the Exposure Fusion options (these are not HDR - they simply merge multiple exposures, which is useful for night photography, for example). I plan to create a few of my own presets as there aren't that many built-in presets that provide a natural or realistic looking result. My approach is to find a preset that provides a reasonable result and tweak the settings from there. I have used both the Contrast Optimizer and Detail Enhancer tone-mapping methods with good results. Except unlike HDR Efex, EasyHDR can properly align handheld bracket shots and can work directly with raw files. Abbreviation 'HDR' in photography means 'High Dynamic Range'. 1 Post by MakoSoft » Tue 2:30 pm EasyHDR BASIC is freeware tool for digital image processing. Ease of use and responsiveness, I'd rate it on par with the Nik Collection's HDR Efex Pro. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on. The raw file conversion in Photomatix Pro is okay, but even the dev admits it is not as good as Lightroom/ACR or other high-end raw converters. And adjustments appear in the large preview image in near real-time. I export images from Lightroom using the plugin supplied with Photomatix Pro (if you use ProPhoto RGB in Lightroom, check the dev's website for instructions as to how to preserve this colour profile on export). This video is an overview of the program and shows how I use EasyHDR to cre. It is also possible to modify the value by scrolling the mouse wheel (horizontally or vertically). Click on a slider to set the focus on it, then you can fine tune the value by pressing keyboard left and right arrows. Sliders Click on any part of the slider to move the handle there instantly. The selective deghosting feature in Photomatix Pro also works very well, better than any automatic deghosting methods that I tried. Quick video tutorial for EasyHDR software for creating high dynamic range images. It allows easyHDR to work on two-screen desktops. Photomatix Pro did as well as Photoshop CC (which is supposedly the best at aligning images), and better than other HDR apps, including one that makes a big deal about its ability to align handheld images. A number of software options are available, including Photomatix, FDRTools, and easyHDR. I mostly shoot sequences of 3 and 5 images handheld, so auto alignment is a critical feature. It produced the best results, offers the most features and was the easiest to use (after some learning time). the program thanks to the help files that it includes for that purpose. I tried several HDR apps (and the Merge to HDR Pro feature in Photoshop CC) before deciding to buy Photomatix Pro. and check the HDR tutorial in PDF that it includes to get the best results.
