What is Photomatix Pro?
Photomatix Pro combines photos taken at different exposures into an HDR image. It is useful for scenes where bright windows and darker interiors need different exposures, as well as landscape photography. Automatic alignment and ghost removal help prepare the merge, while presets and editing controls let you choose the rendered look.
Batch processing includes previews so you can review images before processing a collection. A free Lightroom Classic plugin sends bracketed photos to Photomatix Pro and reimports the HDR result. Supported inputs include JPEG, TIFF, DNG and camera RAW files, although support for a newly released camera can lag behind its release.
The Windows download linked here is the publisher's displayed version 7.1.4 for Windows 10 and 11. Its installer filename is PhotomatixPro7.1.4a.exe; the filename suffix is not presented as a separate product version. The trial does not expire, but adds a watermark to created images. A paid perpetual license removes that restriction. Version 8 is described by the publisher as a private beta and is not the download selected here.
What it offers
- Merge bracketed exposures into HDR images with automatic alignment and ghost removal tools.
- Adjust the rendered image with one-click presets, including styles for real estate photography.
- Preview HDR results before batch processing bracketed photo sets.
- Send bracketed photos from Lightroom Classic through a free plugin and reimport the HDR result.
- Load JPEG, TIFF, DNG and supported camera RAW files.
Good to know
- The non-expiring trial adds a watermark to created images; removing it requires a paid license.
- RAW support for recent camera models may take several months to arrive; check the publisher's supported-camera list before relying on a new model.
