Photomatix extends the dynamic range of digital photographs or scanned films. If you have ever shot a high contrast scene, you probably know the problem -- blown out highlights and loss of contrast in shadows. Photomatix offers two ways to solve this:
• Exposure blending: combining images taken at different exposures into one image with increased dynamic range
• Tone Mapping: processing a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to compress its tonal range while preserving local contrast.

The result is an image that you can display on standard monitors, while preserving the details of the original scene in highlights and shadows.

Limitations:
The trial is fully functional and never expires.
However, a watermark will be applied to images produced via Tone Mapping, 48-bit Compression and 4 of the 6 combination modes.
All other features are free to use.

What's New:
Addition of a new tone mapping method
Sticky settings.
Zoom of the tone mapped preview to get a 100% crop.
Direct selection of EV spacing when exposure information has not been found in source images when generating HDR.
Ability to manually enter values of Tone Mapping settings in text fields.
Various bugs fixed in Batch Processing.
