I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not photomatix is compatable with elements 6. or of any other hdr, or photomerging software that is out there?
thanks a lot

| I just us the stand alone version. It then saves a file which I toss into photoshop. I haven't use it as a plugin but I don't see why it shouldn't work. |

I use the plugin with Photoshop CS; I actually use it more than the stand-alone version. It works pretty well.
Tonemapping is part of both processes; in the standalone, you create an HDR image, then you tonemap it.
In the plugin, you just tonemap. |

If you have the standalone version, you save the result as JPG or TIF: Elements can handle both, so no worries. I have CS3, and I still prefer the standalone version over the plugin, so that is what I use.

I prefer it over the wukong thing... I feel there is more control.
I like the results... well here is one!
THE ORIGINAL
THE FINAL
I used three files for these... one correctly exposed and then bracketed 2 stops up and down for a total of three exposures. Then a heck of a lot of cloning and some dodge and burn on the sky. I normally would try and take a better first picture but I wanted the wow effect.

Best thing to do is to go to photomatix site and download the demo.... it has a tutorial. At least that's how I learned. |
