For those who use Photomatix Pro, be advised that Version 6 was just released. It appears that users who purchased Version 5 get a free upgrade; users who purchased Version 4 or earlier can upgrade for $29.

There are some new features, but, based on my initial trial, it looks like the main thing that Version 6 provides is more realistic-looking results.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to upgrade my version.

Thanks! I clicked on the update link, but it's still waiting, waiting, waiting...

On another site, I entered my email address, but they couldn't find me. I sent them an email, so I'll see what happens. I bought v4 and upgraded free to v5, so I guess $29 will get me v6.

I purchased 4, upgraded to 5 for free, but it seems then that 6 will cost me $29. Downloaded 6 and selected the trial. The interface is a little different. I am going to experiment for a while and see if it is worth the upgrade.

Thanks for the heads up...mine updated (v. 5.1.3 for free) just fine. It does have a different interface. It also now allow finer control and blending the HDR version with a non-HDR image. Thanks again...

I have had Photomatix for years but don't remember which version I have. It is on my desktop computer but I am currently on my laptop. I will have to check what I have later. I did update it once for free but when I tried to update it a second time they said I wasn't eligible - I would have to buy it again for $99, which I didn't do. If I can update for $29 that would be nice, so I will have to see.

took me about 30 seconds to upgrade from 5. Thanks for the heads-up!

In your current version click Help and then Check for Updates. It will take you to the download page automatically.

EDIT: I tried again, and the $29 upgrade went through. Installed and running.

For any of those who may use, or tried, both, why do you use Photomatix over LR CC?

Thanks for the update (no pun intended). Very helpful I upgraded for free.
