HDR: Lr CC vs. Photomatix - or any other?
May 23, 2017 00:57:06 #
I use Lr CC for HDR and I prefer that my HDR work look normal as I use HDR upon occasion to expand tonal range in Real Estate shots. I am interested in opinions on using Lr as opposed to Photomatix, or something else. I've been very happy with what's already built-in to Lr and haven't seen the need to purchase anything else, but I would like feedback on my choice. Thank you in advance.

Media chance ,photo dynamics pro is more intuitive than any other ,and has pin warping.....better tone map operators , temperature operators , you can save multiple scene by dragging different examples of each variable to the bottom of the screen and batch save or discard or save any or all..

Photomatix just released #6 and it's free to those of us that own #5. Added a number of updates to the software including the ability to make the shot more natural.

Photomatix has the best deghosting BY FAR of any HDR program. They also have the widest selection of tonemappers and the most range of effects. There is a learning curve, but it is my choice head and shoulders above any of the tonemappers I've tried, including LR, PS, Franzis, SNS, Nik, Oloneo and Fusion 3.

Agree with kymarto. Photomatix has a very good deghosting program, and many sliders now.

I use Photomatix Pro Ver 4 If you have 5 it's a free upgrade to 6. I can get very realistic if you remember which buttons to choice from. David

I'm sorry to disagree with you but , Dynamics photo HDR anti ghosting is better I have both including Photomatix I have nothing to gain by telling you otherwise . it has temp filters ,directional lighting ,Orton filters , contrast curves , tonemap operators far better than photomatix has always had a natural real world mode , saving multiple renditions of the same final image without closing , pin warping makes hdri possible without a tripod something photomatix has never had.. Try a free trial...you won't be sorry.Oh it's not HDR it's HDRI high dynamic range imaging. I don't know why people shortened it....

Thank you for pointing out version #6. Just installed it and Photomatix has made some significant progress. Gave it a try and liked what I did with it.
