Lots of interest in HDR software nowadays. Some think it makes images look better. Some think it makes images look fake. The "fake" is probably more attributable to overdoing than anything else, but it is what it is.

There is info elsewhere on here about this HDR business. Some use software like the one you linked to (I fixed the link), some do it all inside PS. Some use multiple actual shots, and some use multiple versions of one RAW file.

Sp What would you recomend?

Photomatix is the best in breed right now.

notsotechie · 01-09-2007

I Did try that but it didn't even com out like yours did. What is your system spec and OS mac or Window

jfrancho · 01-09-2007

PC/Windows. If you can run CS2, then you cna run Photomatix. I have the "deluxe' or bundle that includes the Photomatix Tone Mapping plug in for Photoshop, but I just use the standalone. Like anything else, it takes both time and practice to use the software, not to mention choose the scene, and take the bracketed shots.

well it just so expensive up here in canada for the CS2 almost 750 Dollar with tax ouch gonna have to dig a little deeper hee hee alright thanks for the reply

You don't need CS2 to use Photomatix, which was what I just got through saying:
