HDR Pro for Adobe Photoshop CS5 with new tone mapping options.
Read updated review for Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro here.
I finally had some time to check out Adobe Photoshop CS5 and see what new features Adobe had in store. The one feature I was most interested in for CS5, as you probably guessed, is the new HDR Pro tool. So far from what I’ve seen in the video below, I’m not impressed. But when I get my copy of CS5 I’ll do a full review of the new high dynamic range features available.
The one good thing I did see with the new Photoshop CS5 HDR tool is in the tone mapping. Looks like Adobe finally added some options for us to play around with. The current version of Photoshop literally has no controls for tone mapping what so ever. Check out the video below from YouTube and tell me what you think.

Would like to have your help. I just received Adobe photoshop cs4 extended version that I ordered. I don’t have any photoshop loaded in my computer at this time. I noticed on the side of box it indicated “To install this upgrade version”, did I buy the right photoshop version or should I return it back. There were so many versions of CS4 listed I think I may have made a mistake. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Does it say anywhere on the box that it’s an upgrade version. I would highly advise against opening the box until you found out if you bought the upgrade or the full version. If it’s an upgrade version of Photoshop than it should say somewhere on the boxs that’s it an upgrade version.
I wonder if you have now had more opportunity to check out HDR in Photoshop CS5? I’ve just ordered it and am trying to learn. Let me know what you think
Every now and then I use Adobe Photoshop CS5 to combine my exposure, save it as a PSD file and then open it in Photomatix and tone map it using Detail Enhancer. I find the results from Photoshop are still not as good as Photomatix. The options for tone mapping in Photoshop are still limited even though it’s still better than CS4.
