Photomatix Pro 4 Beta

by

A couple of days ago I wrote a post about a bug I found in Photomatix Pro 3.2.9 along with a Youtube video. I also emailed HDRsoft to let them know of the issue. A day later, they replied to me and invited me to use the new Photomatix Pro 4 Beta 2. I was thrilled and found it really nice of them to do so. So here is a quick run down of what I like about V4.

  • It has a new sexier icon
  • It loads instantly
  • They fixed an issue I noticed with not remembering the last location files were opened from and processed images that have been saved.
  • They fixed the bug that I was complaining about, where it does not apply any preset.
  • The best feature is the new preview of the presets at the bottom (makes picking a preset much easier)

So far so good, I plan on using it more and helping out with the beta. I hope my license transfers over from V3 when the final version is released.

Ps. I have not posted a screenshot, video, or icon because at this time it is a private beta and I was asked not to. As soon as I get permission I will do so.

Hey guys, I was in old port tonight, and took some new pics, (along with one from the same photo shoot as the HDR pics). These pics are not in HDR however, because I took them with my Canon powershot sd780IS (first two only). I think I’m going to get the new Canon EOS Rebel T1i EF-S 18-55mm IS Kit (look on the what I want widget on the side). Yeah it’s expensive, and I’m no where near a professional photographer (i would like to be though) and even if i never become one its for personal reasons so the purchase price is justified!  (For the first two images I took it in black and white mode, and all I did in Photoshop was crop the size and reduce the noise. The last picture was with a friends Canon EOS and I tried making a HDR picture but it didn’t work was too shaky, so just played around with the saturation and turned out nice.)
