5 Tips and Techniques
This section provides tips for working with images in Photomatix
Pro. More tips and techniques, and regularly updated information,
can be found on the Photomatix Pro FAQ on the HDRsoft website at
http://www.hdrsoft.com/support/faq_photomatix.html.
5.1 Integrating Lightroom and Photomatix Pro
You can export photos for processing in Photomatix Pro directly
from Lightroom and reimport them back into the Lightroom library.
The Lightroom Export to Photomatix plug-in is free and included
with the Photomatix Pro package. Please refer to the HDRsoft
website at http://www.hdrsoft.com/download/lrplugin.html for
installation instructions and a short tutorial showing how to use the
Lightroom export plug-in for HDR processing in Photomatix Pro.
5.2 Processing RAW les in Third-Party RAW Converters
When using a third-party RAW converter, develop the RAW images with the following settings.
As an example, the screenshots show the settings in Lightroom:
• White Balance: Use the same white balance for all source photos.
• Basic settings: Set all to zero. It is particularly important to set the Blacks setting to zero.
• Curves: Parametric and Point Curves should be linear.
• Details: Set the Sharpening Amount to zero
To remove the watermark, Photomatix
Pro requires that the image was not
retouched after the watermark was
added to it. If the brightness or contrast
of the image was changed, or the
image was cropped or resized, then
Photomatix will not be able to remove
the watermark.
