If you shoot photos with a digital camera—whether a compact model or a DSLR—you may notice your images lack detail when the scene has strong contrast.
Your screen, your camera, and even your eyes aren't designed to display the full dynamic range of those contrasts. The solution is to take multiple shots of the same scene with different shutter speeds (bracketed exposures) so, together, they capture everything from deep shadows to bright highlights. With Photomatix, you can merge these images and fine-tune them to create the perfect photo.
The program is very easy to use, and despite its simple layout, Photomatix is among the best tools for HDR photo editing and is trusted by professional photographers. You can try the full version, but it adds watermarks to your images until you purchase it.
Read the article Create fantastic photos with your digital camera, where you'll also find a tutorial to help you get started and get the most out of your digital camera. The program receives only 4 stars due to the relatively high price if you're just an amateur photographer.
You can also download Photomatix for 64-bit systems here and Photomatix for Mac OS here.
Batch processing, Tone Mapping, export to Adobe Lightroom, Exposure Fusion, and batch processing of single files are also included in the program.
