A panoramic scene is almost always a high contrast scene - you can't limit your view to areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360° panorama.
Photomatix Pro is designed for productivity - automatic blending, unlimited stacking, easy comparison of results and batch processing save hours of masking and layers work in image editing programs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix can turn them into great-looking images. Shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually results in dull-looking photographs. Just enable the Auto Exposure Bracketing feature of your camera, and let Photomatix merge your photos into an image with extended dynamic range.
No need to acquire expensive lighting equipment -and carry it- when you shoot high contrast scenes. Automatic Ghost Removal and Selective Deghosting tool Automatic Alignment of hand-held photos Merge to HDR, Tone Mapping and Exposure Fusion Merged images can then be adjusted by a range of options and settings to get the look that users want - from natural-looking results using exposure fusion to painterly, surreal or ultra-realistic images using the tone mapping mode.
Photomatix Pro merges photographs taken at varying exposure levels into a single HDR image that reveals both highlight and shadow details, with options for automatically aligning hand-held photographs, removing ghosts, and reducing noise and chromatic aberrations.
