Photomatix pro 6 price1/28/2024 ![]() Now you can go in and tweak the exposure. And you could see how that's really not overdoing it. I suggest we go to real estate here and just choose a more realistic preset or a natural preset. Now some of these are a little too strong for my taste. So this takes us to the image and we now have different presets as a starting point. And it generates the HDR and effectively we're going to be given some basic editing tools. I'm going to go back to the automatic method here and just run it at a very low strength, just to clean up those tree branches because there was wind that day, cause we could see them, but there's waves. This particular image didn't have a lot of ghosting problems, so I'm not actually that worried about it. And what it does is it just cleans those areas up a little bit to help you get better edges. For example, like this other tree that was blowing in the wind and mark it as ghosted. Now you can't zoom or do other things when you're in this mode, so you have to exit it, but you could select another area. So, where that tree branch was blowing around in the wind, it's going to clean that up a little bit. And now when we click preview de-ghosting, it's only going to clean up that area. So I don't think we need much de-ghosting, but if we want to, we could use the selective de-ghosting and target just specific areas. ![]() So looking at the tree branches there, it's not too bad. And what I'm paying attention to is the trees. We could choose the automatic de-ghosting and adjust that. Now, this will take a second, particularly when it's aligning in de-ghosting, but it goes through, and that did a pretty nice job. And it's going to show us the initial photo and then give us the ability to fix the de-ghosting. Most of the time though, this isn't needed for most users. There is an option to make an intermediate 32 bit image, and this is fine, if you want to make some adjustments. All right, So now what we're going to do is we're going to align these images. I suggested Doby RGB for ease of use, but if you're comfortable, it does support pro photo, which is another, a slightly wider gamut color space. Now we're going to go ahead and trust that the white balance was correct on the original image, but if it wasn't, you could actually assign a new white balance and we're going to choose our working space. And that's really when we see like purple or cyan or green fringing or color shifts at the edges. Yeah, and, and no matter how good your drone is, it's still a sensor with a lighter-weight lens. What causes chromatic aberration? - Chromatic aberration is caused by a high contrast and cheap lenses and cheap sensors. Since it is a drone, we'll let it do noise reduction on all of the images. So we're going to tell it to look at the normal and the underexposed image, but we're going to hope that the highlight image doesn't have noise, or if you are concerned, actually probably doesn't hurt here. Yeah, and so we might have something like a blowing tree branch or a waving flag that looks weird when you merge the HDR. Basically showing two images in the same image, but the differences between the images is that where movement happened. And what alignment does is it automatically aligns all the images together, so it reduces ghosting. Cause sometimes when you shoot in HDR, it could shift a little bit by a couple of pixels. So typically, the first thing it asks you is about alignment. What's the first thing we need to decide here. All right, now we have a bunch of options. So this made sure that it felt that the files were good. Sometimes with an HDR, you actually get not enough detail, and so including an image could actually hurt the HDR. If it said that it wasn't, if there was multiple shots, we could uncheck one of these, if it said that the highest end one had no detail. And in this case, it feels that the images we've given it are successful. Let's go ahead and check those files first. Some drones don't accurately capture metadata when you shoot a burst mode. You may notice that the metadata may not line up perfectly. ![]() These were the ones captured by the drone. In this case, I'm going to select just the three, the original DNGs. So I'm just going to click browse and navigate to those exercise files that we downloaded. What we need to do is load the images we want to work with. It's the version six series, but Photomatix is a very traditional tool that's been used by the HDR industry for a long time. All right, we're using the current version of Photomatix here. And we're going to take a look at one called Photomatix. There are industry leading tools, specifically designed for HDR. While Photoshop and Lightroom both have HDR capabilities.
