I am not, in fact, I used to preferred the “simple” Photomatix Essential for the basic stuff (since the engine is the same, I liked to do the basics in it, later moving to Photoshop). So, just try it, you will love it – and do not think I am just a geek loving everything new. The second reason is the simple fact that the new version is free of charge, if you were lucky enough to have bought the version 4.0 or later.) Which is a reason why to appreciate the lovely program even more. Obviously, as you who have already downloaded the new version from noticed, there is a proclaimed shift to find new realist-looking results (as defined by the now second “balanced” option). to give you a chance to re-create the reality (well, if there is any in HDR) with a simple clicking on the Real-Estate button (I like the option II.) More than real – estate is has the power to be really real – e.g. The new great function (a new type of exposure fusion, to be exact) is called Fusion / Real Estate. To put it simple, I really love the latest version 5.0, as it ventured towards new possibilities for those of us who just want the HDR to be a tool for capturing reality, not creating surreal worlds.
What are the first impression? What would be the results of Photomatix PRO 5.0 review? An unprocessed result of the new option of Exposure Fusion: Real-Estate.
It has just happened to me – yes, with my favorite HDR software – the Photomatix. Sometimes, one can really experience the love at the first sight.
