HDR Soft с Нового года забросал нас Бетами, Своего продукта Beta release - Photomatix Pro 3.0 for Windows
так как представленная сборка имеет индекс RC2, думаю есть все предпосылки основательно её потесить...
История
Main new features in version 3.0 - Improved workflow and User Interface · "Workflow Shortcuts" panel and addition of Tone Mapping button on HDR viewer
· Dragging multiple image files from Windows Explorer can automatically invoke the Generate HDR or Exposure Blending dialog.
· Tone Mapping preview opens in a separate window with improved size controls
· Presets menu allows quick access to user settings
· Loupe does not replace image preview anymore. Checkbox enables to control separate refresh of preview and loupe
- Second automatic alignment option · New option corrects for rotation in addition to translation.
· New option based on a different algorithm from the first option, allowing to choose the best algorithm depending on the image. The new alignment algorithm is slower but more accurate in most cases.
- Improved Exposure Blending · New algorithm for method 'H&S - Adjust'. It produces halo-free results while preserving highlights and shadows details well.
· Preview and Loupe available for all Exposure Blending methods.
· Ability to select the images for method 'H&S - 2 images'
· Merge of the two 'H&S - Intensive' sub-methods into one with a Strength setting added (its default value is equivalent to the formerly Light method and its maximum to the formerly Enhanced method).
- User-friendlier handling of large HDR image files · When the size of the opened HDR image file reaches a threshold, a dialog box offers the option to open a downsized version of the file. Choosing this option works similarly as formerly "Large File Processing" which has therefore been removed.
· Size of threshold that triggers the dialog is 30 MegaPixels by default and is adjustable in Preferences.
- New options in Batch Processing · Selection of source files can now be done by files in addition to folder.
· Option to process bracketed images having each exposure located under a separate folder
- Stability under Vista and improved memory handling
