If you have ever photographed a high contrast scene, you know that even the best exposure will typically have blown out highlights and flat shadows.
Photomatix offers two ways to solve this problem:
- Exposure Blending: Merge differently exposed photographs into one image with increased dynamic range.
- Tone Mapping: Reveal highlight and shadow details in an HDR image created from multiple exposures. The tone mapped image is ready for printing while showing the complete dynamic range captured.

Photomatix Pro is a stand-alone program that runs on Mac OS X and Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista. The Tone Mapping tool is also available separately as a plugin compatible with Photoshop CS2.
The benefits of using Photomatix Pro include:
- Saving on lighting equipment: Given that most digital cameras can auto-bracket at different exposures, you do not need to acquire expensive lighting equipment -and carry it- when shootinghigh contrast scenes. Just enable Auto Exposure Bracketing, and let Photomatix merge your photos into an image with extended dynamic range.
- Saving time in post-processing: Photomatix Pro is designed for productivity -- automatic blending, unlimited stacking, easy comparison of results and batch processing save hours of masking and layers work in image editing programs.
- Taking advantage of your 32-bit images: Have you created a 32-bit HDR image in Photoshop CS2 and could not get a good HDR conversion? The Photomatix Tone Mapping tool may help. See how it compares to Photoshop CS2 HDR conversion.
- Great pictures on cloudy days: Shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually results in dull-looking photographs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix Pro can turn them into great-looking images. Check this image as example.
- Noise reduction: The Exposure Blending functions of Photomatix Pro merge any number of bracketed photos -- this process is equivalent to image stacking, which tends to reduce noise in the resulting image.
- Well exposed panoramas: A panoramic scene is almost always a high contrast scene -- you can't limit your view to areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360° panorama. By taking views under several exposures and processing them inPhotomatix Pro, you can create a panorama that will show details in both the dark and bright areas of the scene.
- Set the color conversion for display to use the relative intent of the display color profile instead of perceptual.
- Made "HDR Generation - Options" dialog resizable.
- Slightly modified the way memory allocation is made for reduction of noise and Chromatic Aberrations.
- Added suffix to the name of files resulting from using the "Remove watermark" option in Batch Single Files.
- Bug fixed: White Balance and Color Profile options on HDR Generation dialog were not sticky.
- Bug fixed: Auto White-balance was not applied correctly in batch processing.
- Bug fixed: Errors when saving image file (e.g. due to full disk) were not always reported.
- Bug fixed: Saving as Jpeg could cause a crash when a write error happened.
- Bug fixed: Alignment option with Exposure Fusion/Adjust method was not taken into account with large source image files.
- Bug fixed: Position of the histogram window remembered from last session was sometimes out of view.
