HDR Photomatix Question - DPChallenge Forums

Hello,

I have been experimenting with HDR and multiple exposures. My question is:

What if I have a single Jpg image that is begging for tone mapping...can this be done. As of today, I can't figure it out. Photomatix will only let me open a raw file for tone mapping.

Anybody?

Change it to 16bit mode and save as a tiff in photoshop, then it should open fine in photomatix.

Actually you need to Generate the HDR first.

Open your JPG in PhotoMatix then go to HDR-->Generate

You will get an odd looking image, then go to HDR-->Tone Mapping

When you open from RAW, PhotoMatix generates the HDR upon opening the file.

Good luck.
