Using the latest build of Photomatix I processed this image on August 17th. Here’s one of those wild HDR images created with my new Canon 8-15mm Fisheye Zoom ( review ) Although that has changed over the last year as there’s exciting stuff happening in the HDR world including the release of Photomatix 4.1 – the industry leading solution in HDR processing! or existing owners of Photomatix, this is a no brainer upgrade, and for those who have used the trial version forever, it’s time to pony up and get those watermarks off your HDR images! Sample Image with it so it’s still plenty of use, IMHO.**** Don’t forget to get your 15% discount when you use the coupon code at the end of this article! ****Ī while back I reviewed Photomatix 3.1 Pro Plus, and I must confess that at the time I didn’t really do much HDR or Tone Mapping work. While Photomatix mostly works as an image file converter here you have to remember that you can still eliminate ghosts etc. Now you can use all the regular Lightroom controls to work with the image. – After you have saved the image you don’t use the automatic import into Lightroom from Photomatix but manually (!) import the image from where you saved it! In fact you can close the image in Photomatix at this point to save resources. but directly SAVE the image (“Save as”) – but: You NEED to select the file format “Floating Point TIFF (.tif)”! – When Photomatix has imported the images you DON’T tonemap etc.
– When you export your images from Lightroom you have to click the option “Show intermediary 32-bit HDR image” in the requester Photomatix pops up to ask the import settings! (If you don’t use the English version of Photomatix simply use the option with “32-bit” in it -)). There are a few things you have to keep in mind: Probably only the Pro version of Photomatix but I’m not sure of this. This also works with Photomatix – so you if you don’t have PhotoShop but Photomatix you can indeed use the feature.
