Photomatix Pro

Photomatix Pro Publisher's Description:
Photomatix Pro extends the dynamic range of digital photographs or scanned films. If you have ever shot a high contrast scene, you probably know the problem: blown out highlights and loss of contrast in shadows. Photomatix offers two ways to solve this:

* Exposure blending: combining images taken at different exposures into one image with increased dynamic range
* Tone Mapping: processing a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to compress its tonal range while preserving local contrast.

The result is an image that you can display on standard monitors, while preserving the details of the original scene in highlights and shadows.

more... The trial is fully functional and never expires. However, a watermark will be applied to images produced via Tone Mapping, 48-bit Compression and 4 of the 6 combination modes. All other features are free to use.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 2.5.1:

* Bug fixed: Resulting images saved in TIFF format should now correctly store the preserved EXIF data and tone mapping settings XMP metadata.
* Bug fixed: incorrect 16-bit output when using Details Enhancer with HDR image files produced by PTGui Pro should not happen anymore.
