It offers a variety of ways of combining exposures, including some non-HDR options.  Photomatix offers impressive controls over essential image elements affected by HDR merges. Chief among these are control over halos, micro-contrast accentuation, micro-smoothing and control of saturation in highlights and shadows (areas that tend to need aggressive tone mapping).<br \/>\nWith a little care and attention, the effect you produce with these tools can be one of your choosing. If used aggressively, you can produce a contemporary HDR effect that can give your images a new look. If used conservatively, you can produce a classic effect that\u2019s virtually unnoticeable.<br \/>\nEvery photographer can benefit from learning HDR techniques &#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/downloads\/technique\/hdr.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read my review of Photomatix here.
