I'm sure there's some areas in which it works better and I just haven't looked hard enough.īut the main thing is, for the "look" of greatly enhanced local area contrast (the look a lot of people think IS what HDRI means, though it really isn't) you need the full version of Photomatix, not the basic version.įrom reading, it seems to me the EasyHDR program may offer the same, or similar, results as Photomatix Pro, but as I say I haven't tried it. To be honest I'm not sure why anyone with Photomatix pro would ever use tone compressor over details enhancement, but I haven't really played with it that much. It has way fewer controls, and no local contrast adjustment features are present. Quick video tutorial for EasyHDR software for creating high dynamic range images. You can't even USE tone compressor to tone map single TIFF or JPG images you need an image merged from several exposures or a RAW image to use it. I always work in "details enhancement" mode, which is only available in the Pro version. The free version of Photomatix Basic supplies only the "tone compressor" mode of tone mapping, which is much less interesting. I don't know how much of what they describe is available in the free version though they say it has a limited feature set compared to the full version, but it apparently does include tone mapping of some level in the free version. I have read their on-site tutorials, and it looks good. Photomatix basic is free, halfway down this page //This program (easy hdr) looks very interesting. There is a free version, the full one is 30 Euros.
