    One of the new features is numerous presets which one can use as a baseline. Here is another I played with today using five bracketed images of Myrtle Falls at Mount Rainier.

    Nice Dan. That turned out well.

    Not wanting to step on your thread here I posted a fusion result I got today on the new version over on your Photomatix thread in the Finishing School section.

    I haven't gotten much into HDR, but I really like the images in this thread. Especially the first one. That to me is what HDR is supposed to be. Not the ugly day-glo radioactive-looking trash some people are into.

    The tool easily lets you go from natural (as I have tried to portray) to painterly, to grunge, to whatever else suits your eye. thumb.gif

    Meanwhile, manual blending using layers has been available for over a decade in Photoshop :D

    drums.gif This just in, Ron T. No need to use Photomatix. You can do it manually in PS.rolleyes1.gifD:D

    Seriously, I keep experimenting with both methods, and I am simply unable to match the flexibility, ease, and final results of Photomatix with PS. Obviously, Ron C., you and others are very PS expert, but for an old, lazy guy like me, Photomatix is wonderful; and it keeps getting better.wings.gif

    Thanks for commenting guys clap.gif
