Note
As an option, selectable in Preferences, the
Preview will update continuously as you move
a slider. This option may require that you
work with your image zoomed out to a small
Preview, or that you have a powerful computer
that is able to quickly reprocess the Preview.
This option is not available if you are running
on a 32-bit OS.
You can access application Preferences from the
View menu (PC) or Photomatix Pro menu (Mac).
