As a result of this recommendation from the king of HDR, I decided that I’d give up my obsession with passing in the fat RAW files and get with the times.
I’ve enjoyed Trey Ratcliff’s HDR Workshop DVD’s, and in it he still recommends converting your images to JPEG when processing in Photomatix because it is believed that this is what Photomatix does with your RAW files anyway, and its raw conversion isn’t very good – I agree.
PHOTOMATIX PRO 4.0 HOW TO
Gone are the days of being dumped off with a bunch of complex sliders and no clue as to how to get started - woohoo! Performance Improvements Many will find that their new workflow will be to pick the preset that gets them closest to their artistic intent, and then tweak those values as needed in the Adjustments window. The big improvements in 4.1+ come with the long-overdue visual preset thumbnails, and there are plenty of them! The rest of the UI is similar, but more logical so I find it to be a more simplified way of processing your images. Visual presets are a big bonus as are both 64 & 32-bit support The 3.x Workflow Shortcuts window gets new terminology and features, but the 3.x Generate HDR – Options dialog is simplified and renamed to Preprocessing Options. Getting started in Photomatix is the effectively same, but simple & effective user-interface. New Workflow Shortcuts & the renamed Preprocessing Options dialog are your entry points You can click the image to see my mini-review of this lens or click here to purchase it from B&H.
At first I had the natural look and then I couldn’t help but go wild with it as this image needed some oomph. Using the latest build of Photomatix I processed this image on August 17th. Here’s one of those wild HDR images created with my new Canon 8-15mm Fisheye Zoom ( review ) Although that has changed over the last year as there’s exciting stuff happening in the HDR world including the release of Photomatix 4.1 – the industry leading solution in HDR processing! or existing owners of Photomatix, this is a no brainer upgrade, and for those who have used the trial version forever, it’s time to pony up and get those watermarks off your HDR images!
