Enhance your pictures with HDR

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a method where you can combine pictures taken at different exposures and combine that to one picture to bring all the dynamic ranges in the picture.

If you have ever photographed a high contrast scene, you know that even the best exposure will typically have blown out highlights and flat shadows. Photomatix offers two ways to solve this problem:
Exposure Blending: Merge differently exposed photographs into one image with increased dynamic range.
Tone Mapping: Reveal highlight and shadow details in an HDR image created from multiple exposures. The tone mapped image is ready for printing while showing the complete dynamic range captured.
