Photomatix
Photomatix is a great piece of software and it is what I currently use to process my HDRs. I talk a lot about it here in my Photomatix Review.
It is also mentioned extensively in my HDR Tutorial.
You can buy Photomatix from the HDR Soft website. I think it’s only about $99 and you can get another 15% off with the Photomatix Coupon Code “STUCKINCUSTOMS“.
I also get asked a lot “Why not just HDR Photoshop?” My answer is always, simply, that Photomatix does a much better job of creating a high-quality HDR image.
Here are some images that have been made with Photomatix:
In Photmatix, there is an additional option called exposure fusion. In your opinion, how does it compare to HDR?
All your pictures look fake and overworked. So what does it bring you if you use “Phptomatix”???

Your photographs are the finest I have ever seen, and the last person to comment (John) does not understand that you are not just snapping great photos, you are turning them into world class art with your processing.
As I said, they are the most inspirational photos that I have ever seen. They so moved me that I have decided to dedicate a major portion of the rest of my life to learning how to create works like these.

I’m learning again!!!!!!!!!!!!
have been bored for years doing it as a professional and now i can see greater and more creative options and opportunities to investigate, looking at your work makes me realize that i can improve a great photo and still keep to my old skool rules plus push the boat out a little for the greater good of what we see and photograph by not adding anything in thats not already there. Brilliant
Your work is very good, but having myself just gotten into the world of HDR, I like Photomatix but don’t feel that it always produces realistic images. I appreciate the artistic feel that this can give to an image, but think that it takes them from being photographs into a different space of manipulated photographs. The contrast range is amazing, but in some images, like the cityscape, it looks more like a painting than a photo.
Again, great work. I’ll check back regularly.
