Product description

Platform:PC/Mac

Photomatix Pro merges photographs taken at varying exposure levels into a single HDR image that reveals both highlight and shadow details, with options for automatically aligning hand-held photographs, removing ghosts, and reducing noise and chromatic aberrations. Users can then adjust the merged images by a range of options and settings to get the look they want -- from natural-looking results to painterly, surreal or ultra-realistic images. The program also includes a plugin for Adobe Lightroom for users who want to integrate Photomatix Pro into their Lightroom workflow.

Photomatix Pro 5 is available for Windows (XP/Vista/7/8) and Macintosh (OS 10.5 to 10.9) platforms.

Features:

- Create HDR photos and adjust them to get the look you want
- One-click Presets let you choose a style, from natural to painterly to surreal
- Batch mode, automatic alignment of hand-held photos and advanced tools to remove ghosts
- Plugin for Adobe Lightroom included

Photomatix versus HDR Projects

May 26, 2016

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

Amateur photographer. Took a workshop and others there used Photomatix. Bought it and was amazed at the outcomes. I've not gotten into custom tweaking, mainly using the default settings. I was satisfied and more interested in HDR. As I searched out other HDR software I came across the HDR Projects 4 Professional. About the same price and it has many more features. While that adds to the complexity there are 149 presets that do more than I ever imagined.

In HDR Projects 4 you can choose the lighting, pick between multiple settings for ghosting, adjust noise suppression, alignment options, etc, all in the opening screen. The only thing I've adjusted is turning on ghosting. Loading an image is quicker in HDR Projects, but not my that much.

The 149 presents are grouped into natural, landscape, architecture and a few others. Previewing is instant and you an add individual presents to a 'favorites' group.

But the proof is in the pudding (wonder that that means?). Here are three photos. One is the original, a shot of a stream near my house. There are also HDR results using default settings (other than ghosting) in both HDR Projects 4 and Photomatix. Both are definite improvements and acceptable, but I prefer the HDR Projects. This was done without any tweaking by just selecting a preset and I was amazed at the outcome.

Right file is the original, left is Photomatix, middle is HDR Projects. I gave Photomatix 4 stars as I think it's a good solid program that produces good results. I would give HDR Projects 5 stars for the added features, presets and speed. I found it easier to use. If you're comparing go to the respective company's website for the most information and latest versions.

Photomatix Pro 5

December 21, 2014

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

Photomatix Pro 5 is pretty much the standard software for HDR photography. It gives the user the ability to get a realistic HDR image or a surreal image. It's interface is pretty much straight forward. The GUI has none of those cute little things that distract from the task.

For bracketed images, tone mapping and exposure fusion are available. I play with both to see which comes closer to what I want. Single images (raw, tiff, or even jpeg) can be tone mapped giving good results, but not as good as bracketed images.

This is not a do all end all program. It's really good at tone mapping and exposure fusion. Everything else such as white point, black point, saturation and other adjustments, is only very basic and can be done better in a photo editor. For instance, saturation in Photomatix is global, affecting the whole image. In a good photo editor hue, saturation, and luminance can be performed on individual colors.

It has several presets. Some of these may work on some images. The monochrome presets seem to be a global desaturation. Better b&w can be done in a photo editor. My take on presets is to try them. But I usually end up doing my HDR adjustments manually. After all, I want to control how my photo looks, not have a program telling me how it should look.

Think of the file that Photomatix creates as a raw image. Create the HDR only in Photomatix. Then do your final adjustments in your favorite photo editor.

There are plenty of tutorials on the web for Photomatix. Check them out. Some of them are really good. Also read the manual that comes in the box, especially the section on how to get your bracketed shots. Pay attention to where the shadows and highlights for the different shots should be on the histogram for the best results.

Photography will change how you see things. HDR and Photomatix will change how you will visualize your images.

Like magic in a bottle (w/o the bottle)

June 2, 2012

Platform: PC/MacVerified Purchase

This is a great way to punch up otherwise ordinary photos. The best part about this software is that it can be stand-alone - it is not soley a plug-in for a very much more expensive suite that you must have to make it work (although it can function that way as wwell, if you want). So it's very flexible. And, although it does its best work when you import multiple bracketed exposures w/RAW files, it will do some amazing effects on single exposures such as already existing JPEGs. Not every shot is improved by its use - best candidates are, for example, photos with much texture in them (wood grain, leaves & grass, clouds, etc). Photomatix can give a lot of "old stuff" (including people) even more character. Plus, each time you apply "tone mapping" to a shot it gives you 6 to 9 different treatments to choose from that is most effective for that particular shot, and it is also completely adjustable - there are many parameters (on sliders) such as luminosity, contrast, color saturation, etc - a tweaker's heavenly playground (and settings can be saved in a file too, which can then be applied to future individual shots, or even batch-processed). I find I'm already beginning to see the world through HDR lenses ("THAT would be a good HDR shot!"). HDR video is next!
