Loading bracketed photos
Using the Workow Area or the File Menu
To load images using the Workow Shortcuts panel or the File
menu:
1. Click Load Bracketed Photos in the Workow Shortcuts area
OR
Select Load Bracketed Photos from the File menu.
The Loading bracketed photos dialog displays.
2. Drag and drop the les into the Loading bracketed photos
dialog
OR
Click Browse. A dialog displays prompting for location of the
les.
3. Select the les to load, using one of the following methods:
• Click the rst le, then press and hold the Control key
(Windows) or Command key (Mac). While holding down the
Control or Command key, click each of the other les you
wish to select.
• Click the rst le, then press and hold the Shift key. While
holding the Shift key down click the last le. This will select
all the les in-between the rst and last le.
4. Click Open (Windows) or Select (Mac).
5. Click OK to pre-process the les.
Note
If you check the Show intermediary
32-bit HDR image box, you will be
able to save the pre-processed 32-bit
image in an HDR image le format such
as Radiance or OpenEXR. Saving the
32-bit HDR image is useful when you
want to be able to process the image
with other tone mapping settings later
without having to pre-process and
merge your bracketed photos again.
However, you will still need to pre-
process and merge the photos if you
want to use exposure fusion.
You will have to click the Tone Mapping
/ Fusion button to go to the next step if
you check this box.
Note
The order of the les in a bracketing
sequence does not matter.Photomatix
Pro systematically sorts the image les
based on the exposure information
retrieved from the EXIF data. If the
exposure information is not available in
EXIF data, Photomatix Pro automatically
evaluates the relative brightness levels
of the photos.
Entering Exposure Values
If the exposure information cannot be located in the metadata of the image les, Photomatix Pro displays a
dialog prompting for input of the relative Exposure Values for each image. Photomatix Pro also displays this
dialog if two or more source images share the same exposure information.
