Photomatix is the most popular HDR software for creating high dynamic range (HDR) photos. HDR Photography is a technique photographers use to capture more vibrant colors and details in their photographs. This is done by shooting multiple photographs and combining them together to create one super image. To create a HDR photo HDR photography software is needed to combine these exposures and merge them together. There are many different software available, but the HDR program I use and recommend is Photomatix Pro by HDRSoft.
I use Photomatix exclusively for all my HDR photos. I use it because it’s an easy program to use and it produces great results. There are many different companies releasing their own version of HDR software to produce HDR photos. After using all the other HDR software, I find Photomatix the easiest to learn from. Photomatix has a very user friendly interface with a straight forward process for making HDR images. You generate your image by selecting your exposures, then apply tone mapping, hit save and you’re done. I know… this sounds way to simple, but once you’ve done it a few times, that’s pretty much all there is to it. Check out the video below to see the entire process in action. This video is part of my HDR How-to Guide.
HDR photography isn’t a difficult process once you get the technique down it becomes very easy and addictive.
