Quotes from magazines reviews:
"Photomatix Pro is an excellent tool for creating high dynamic range photographs."
Stuart Gripman, Mac Life, issue # 17, 2008
Photomatix has all the features you need for producing HDR images, whether you are looking for a very natural look or the more extreme styles. The workflow is logical and easy to follow especially using the Lightroom integration.
Andrew Williams, Advanced Photographer, Feb 2011
"Using a trial download of Photomatix I came almost immediately to prefer it to CS3. Simpler and faster, I also thought it did a better job with mid-tones, shadows and saturation."
Adam Woolfitt, The International Journal of Photographic Art & Practice, issue # 51, 2008
"Details Enhancer is the option that I and many others photographers use exclusively because of the many creative and interpretative controls."
Tony Sweet, Shutterbug, issue # 454, 2008
"HDRsoft's Photomatix is currently the most sophisticated and robust, yet easy-to-use solution"
John Paul Caponigro, Digital Photo Pro, Jan/Feb 2009
"Make fantastic HDR with Photomatix."
Paul Carroll, Digital Photo, issue # 102, 2008
"The Photomatix details enhancer does a better job of rendering shadow detail than the comparable local adaptation algorithm in Photoshop, and produces images with a distinctive ethereal appearance. Photomatix is polished software, backed by a helpful technical support team, and is highly recommended."
Guy J Brown, Royal Photographic Society Journal, November 2006
Benefits for professional photographers:
› Saving on lighting equipment
No need to acquire expensive lighting equipment -and carry it- when you shoot high contrast scenes. Just enable the Auto Exposure Bracketing feature of your camera, and let Photomatix merge your photos into an image with extended dynamic range.
› Great pictures on cloudy days
Shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually results in dull-looking photographs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix can turn them into great-looking images. Check out this image as an example.
› Saving time in post-processing
Photomatix Pro is designed for productivity -- automatic blending, unlimited stacking, easy comparison of results and batch processing save hours of masking and layers work in image editing programs.
› Well exposed panoramas
A panoramic scene is almost always a high contrast scene -- you can't limit your view to areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360° panorama. By taking views under several exposures and processing them in Photomatix Pro, you can create a panorama that will show details in both the dark and bright areas of the scene. Photomatix Pro offers both exposure fusion (also known as exposure blending) and HDR tone mapping.
