Section 2: Creating an HDR image and processing it with Tone

Mapping

There are two steps involved in creating and processing HDR images:



Step 1 merges your photos taken under different exposure settings into a single 32-

bit HDR image. Because of its high dynamic range, the 32-bit HDR image will not display

properly on conventional monitors.



Step 2 processes the 32-bit HDR image via the Tone Mapping tool. Tone Mapping

will ‘reveal’ the dynamic range captured in the HDR image and produce an image that

can be properly displayed on conventional monitors and is ready for printing.

2.1 Creating a 32-bit HDR image

The easiest way to load the bracketed photos you want to merge into an HDR image is by

dragging them to the open Photomatix Pro application (Windows) or to the Photomatix icon in

the Dock (Macintosh). Then, select the “Generate HDR image” option.

Alternatively, you can also click on the “Generate HDR Image” button of the Workflow Shortcuts,

or choose Process > Generate HDR.



If you have Lightroom, you should use the Lightroom Export Plug-in to Photomatix Pro for

your RAW files. Please refer to section 5 of this manual.

If you have not dragged and dropped your images, click on the “Browse” button of the

“Generate HDR – Selecting source images” dialog. An Open panel will be displayed to allow

you to select your photos taken under different exposure settings. Highlight the image files that

you want to merge into an HDR image. Then, click on the “Select” button, and click “OK” to

proceed further.

In case the exposure information cannot be found in the metadata of the image files, Photomatix

will show a dialog where you can input the relative Exposure Values for each one of your

images. This dialog will also be displayed if two or more source images share the same

exposure information.



The order of the files in a bracketing sequence does not matter. Photomatix Pro will

systematically sort the image files based on the exposure information retrieved from the

EXIF data. If the exposure information is not available in EXIF data, Photomatix will use

the relative brightness levels of the photos.

Photomatix Pro can generate an HDR image from 8-bit, 16-bit, and RAW source files.

Supported file types include JPEG, TIFF, PSD, DNG, and RAW files from many camera models.

As the list of supported camera models for RAW files often changes when a new sub-version of

Photomatix Pro is released, we suggest that you consult the Photomatix Pro FAQ on the

HDRsoft website at http://www.hdrsoft.com/support/raw.html

to check whether your camera

model is supported. If your camera model is relatively new, you may have to upgrade to a new

version, or wait until Photomatix Pro adds support for it.
