Enter to Win One of NINE Photomatix Licenses

For this competition, HDRsoft is giving away THREE Photomatix Pro Plus Bundles, THREE Photomatix Pro, AND THREE Photomatix Essentials.

HDRsoft, the maker of the popular Photomatix software and pioneer of HDR photography post-processing, bring you the “Spring in HDR” photo contest.

What is HDR, you ask? HDR stands for “high dynamic range.” In simple terms, dynamic range is basically just the difference between the lightest light and darkest tones in a scene. HDR photography lets you capture a high contrast scene as you saw it. Take three or more photos with different exposures and merge them to create one stunning HDR image.

With spring in full swing, let’s have fun and SPRING into HDR!

These prizes are designed to help every level of photographer create impressive HDR pictures. Each prize will be won by a different dPS reader.

Photomatix Pro and Essentials offer the dPS readers High Dynamic Range photography software to:

Merge bracketed photos to HDR

  • Load photographs taken at different exposures (a.k.a. bracketed photos) to merge them into a single HDR image.
  • You can leave your tripod at home. Photomatix will align your bracketed photos for you.
  • If there are moving objects or people between the bracketed shots, Photomatix will remove them via its ghost removal tools.

Adjust the HDR image to your liking

  • Choose from a wide variety of styles, with built-in presets from natural looks right through to surreal or grunge effects.
  • Try different HDR styles and fine-tune the HDR settings to find enhancements that work best for your photo.
