Once the photo is in Photoshop I’ll often sharpen it here. Once the photo is back in Lightroom I’ll usually do a few more color tweaks and contrast before sending it to Photoshop Once you’re done, save it and load it back into Lightroom.
Then you almost always have to do a few little adjustments to get it right for your seen. I’ll usually cycle through a few presets until I find one close to what I’m going for. The software I’ve found that works the best is Topaz Denoise, although Lightroom works fine as well. Otherwise, the algorithms that the software uses to combine the images end up enhancing the grain into super HDR grain. I’ve come to the conclusion that you absolutely need to remove the noise from your HDR photos before you send them into Photomatix. This is important and I went through a lot of trial and error getting it right and I see a lot of other HDR photographers struggle with this. I like the natural-looking HDR photography vs the crazy surreal-looking images. I wish the program came with some better ones that created more natural-looking scenes. Every scene is different so not having presets is very hard. This will help you quickly find looks that may or may not work for the scene. The presets are great, and you should always create your own. I won’t use any other HDR software now, this one really is the best.ĭownload my free Photomatix Presets here. Photomatix Pro is pretty much a major part of my HDR photography workflow now. Then over time, it became much easier and quicker to go through my 20 or 30 presets to find a unique style or look for. Every time I got a photo the way I liked, I’d save it as a preset. I started by ignoring the default presets and creating my own. Not that it was hard to use because it isn’t, the hard part is that technical learning curve of wanting a photo to look a particular way and having no idea how to get there. This program took me a while to really understand. You can pick up this software for about $100 bucks. Photomatix Pro is software designed to create stunning HDR Photography by taking several photos captured at various exposures and combining them together into a single HDR image.
