Photomatix Pro merges photographs taken at varying exposure levels into a single HDR image that reveals both highlight and shadow details, with options for automatically aligning hand-held photographs, removing ghosts, and reducing noise and chromatic aberrations. Merged images can then be adjusted by a range of options and settings to get the look that users want -- from natural-looking results using exposure fusion to painterly, surreal or ultra-realistic images using the tone mapping mode.
- Merge to HDR, Tone Mapping and Exposure Fusion
- Automatic Alignment of hand-held photos

Benefits for professional photographers
- Saving on lighting equipment. No need to acquire expensive lighting equipment -and carry it- when you shoot high contrast scenes. Just enable the Auto Exposure Bracketing feature of your camera, and let Photomatix merge your photos into an image with extended dynamic range.
- Great pictures on cloudy days. Shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually results in dull-looking photographs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix can turn them into great-looking images. Check out this image as an example.
- Saving time in post-processing. Photomatix Pro is designed for productivity - automatic blending, unlimited stacking, easy comparison of results and batch processing save hours of masking and layers work in image editing programs.
- Well exposed panoramas. A panoramic scene is almost always a high contrast scene - you can't limit your view to areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360° panorama. By taking views under several exposures and processing them in Photomatix Pro, you can create a panorama that will show details in both the dark and bright areas of the scene. Photomatix Pro offers both exposure fusion (also known as exposure blending) and HDR tone mapping.
New in version 7
Batch with preview
This new interactive feature lets you see a preview of each HDR image before batching bracketed photos. You can also adjust each image by applying a different preset or HDR settings. This is particularly useful when processing photos of scenes with varying lighting conditions.
Save ghost removal selection
The selective ghost removal feature adds an option to save the areas marked for deghosting. This avoids to start over again when you need to merge the same bracketed photos. It also allows you to use the ghost removal selection for batching.
Customizable watermark tool
You can add your own text watermark to images with the new watermark tool, with options to select the font, size, layout, and position of the watermark.
Save HDR images as 32-bit DNG
Version 7 adds the option to save images in DNG format, including 32-bit DNG for the merged HDR image.
Start batching via drag & drop
You can now initiate the batch processing by drag-and-drop or browsing bracketed photo sets.
