HDR photo software

HDR is my new skill to master. They are so beautiful.


Photomatix may be the best tool.

The trial is fine. HDR photo software & plugin for Lightroom, Aperture & Photoshop - Tone Mapping, Exposure Fusion & High Dynamic Range Imaging for photography
There is a Photomatix 70% Discount for students, teachers.

Photoshop CS...
You can also use Photoshop CS2 and up. Place at least 3 photos (5 is better) bracketed up to 2 F stops from normal in a folder and use this menu: File /Automate/ Merge to HDR

I used Photomatix (Trial version) with additional processing with PS CS3, and I then tried using only PS CS3's "HDR feature".... There was NO comparison! The PS CS3 feature is rudimentary, and although could possibly be used for some scenes, this wasn't one of them.....
It is all automatic... Then you have to convert it to 8 bit or 16 bit for standard color. Steve.
