Photomatix magic

A stunning example of bringing together multiple exposures into one image. This powerful plug-in called Photomatix works within Adobe Lightroom. Photographing a high contrast scene, you know that even the best exposure will typically have blown out highlights and flat shadows. Closely examining the foreground, mid-ground and background and you find it’s well exposed in all three areas. These Photomatix examples offers two ways to increase the dynamic range of your photographs:

› 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.
