Photomatix Pro 6

I have been experimenting with HDR photography using Photoshop Elements 8 for a while now and have had very good results. Although I have to pin-register the images and blend them by hand, which is time consuming, overall the results are consistently well worth it. When I researched Photomatix Pro, I thought that the tone mapping feature would reduce my editing time and give me more uniform results. However, I ended up returning it to Amazon. I noticed that when I merged multiple exposures using Photomatix, it had a tendency to produce some very odd artifacts in the final image. I did not notice this problem until I zoomed in to see how it handled ghosting and image alignment. I discovered areas where there were patches of odd colored, usually dark or black colored pixels, that were completely unlike anything in that part of the image. In some instances, this was even more apparent in areas of lower and higher contrast. In one image, I noticed a rock in the foreground in which the lower portion was literally missing about half of its pixels. Photomatix had inserted these dark colored pixels in and around the area on the rock where the image data was simply gone. I think that if you use Photomatix to create HDR images for the Internet or for small prints, its usable I suppose, but if you like to print 8x12 or larger sized images, be advised that this product creates enough artifacts in the final composite image that I cannot recommend it.

I bought this software last year and it has worked wonders for me!! I really like the finished product. It is easy to use and yet the pictures come out GREAT!!!!. Love Photomatix!!

Having used Photoshop to process HDR images which I found quite a lengthy process and now Photomatix is installed the time taken to process the same images is less than half and a better result, well worth the cost.

Best HDR software out there!! Does HDR from multiple photos or from a single photo, RAW or JPEG! Made my flat, dull, boring pics come to life! Love it!! Lots of demos out, I encourage you to try them. Photomatix pro 5 did it for me, best one!!

Quick shipping. Accurate listing and rating.

Great seller, fast shipping, very happy, thank you.

the product came very quickly ,the software is very easy to use ,would definitley recommend it to anybody starting out

when i bought it at such a great price... hm... well i think it may have been a bootleg, but i dont care i was able to upgrade to the 64bit version in seconds as well as upgrade to the next version of that too, so no problem. doesnt appear to be a complicated program on any level (actually i thought it would be more that it is) so i can easily see why this PRICE (that i paid) is more in keeping with what id like to pay for this and not what the company has been charging... id feel rippped off for that price! LOL

Good product

great software
