help Photomatix Pro FAQ
Can Photomatix Pro merge handheld bracketed exposures?
Yes, Photomatix Pro can align bracketed photographs before merging them into an HDR image. Alignment can correct modest camera movement, but a tripod remains safer when foreground objects or long exposures are involved.
What is the difference between tone mapping and exposure fusion in Photomatix Pro?
Tone mapping compresses an HDR image's wide brightness range and can produce anything from natural results to a pronounced HDR look. Exposure fusion blends selected parts of the original exposures directly and often produces a more restrained result.
Does Photomatix Pro work as a Lightroom or Photoshop plugin?
Photomatix is available as standalone software, and HDRsoft also provides workflows or plugins for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Compatibility can depend on the Photomatix edition and the installed Adobe version, so buyers should check the current HDRsoft requirements.
Can Photomatix reduce people, leaves, or cars that moved between exposures?
Its deghosting controls are designed to select one exposure for areas that changed across a bracketed sequence. This can help with moving pedestrians or foliage, although severe overlap may still require masking in Adobe Photoshop.
