logo_hdrsoft-1   Photomatix Pro 5 is the newest app in my HDR workflow and is really opening my eyes to a different approach to my HDR work. I have long used another HDR app that I liked better than the previous versions of Photomatix but I recently gave Photomatix Pro 5 a try and found it much improved from earlier versions. Not only is it faster at merging multiple exposures but the anti-ghosting tools are superior to anything I have used in the past. Photomatix Pro 5 is also a stand alone program that can be used with single and multiple images to create stunning HDR images. There is also a less expensive version, Photomatix Essentials, that is also a stand alone editor.
