Once you’ve got the basics of the process down, you should definitely play around until you find your HDR style. Many HDR Photographers choose to push the settings to the limit creating a vivid and breathtaking effect, but for my architectural work, especially interior shots, I prefer to shoot for a little more “true to the scene” realism with maybe a little more punch in the details. This portion of the process is obviously highly subjective depending on the image you’re processing and how vivid you want the HDR effect to be. The more you shoot HDR, the more you’ll get a feeling for how many F-Stops is enough.) This will show you if you’ve clipped any information on the black or white end, if you’ve got clipping then you didn’t shoot a big enough F-Stop range. (*note: Also under the View Menu is the HDR Histogram function which will generate a full-spectrum histogram of your HDR image. ![]() At this point all we really need to do is hit the Tone Mapping button at the bottom of the HDR Viewer to open the Tone Mapper and get rolling You’ll notice that the HDR Viewer has a little thumbnail viewer at the top and as you mouse over your image you’ll see a better rendering of the detail in this viewer window (don’t mind how noisy the preview is, it’s just a quick rendering). By default the HDR Viewer panel should be visible, if you don’t see it, choose View > HDR Viewer from the Main Menu. When Photomatix Pro finally opens your file (and it might take a minute, so be patient), you’ll see a rendering of your image that again looks like complete rubbish, but don’t worry, this is just Photomatix’s way of rendering the 32bit file so you can see it.
