You can browse Photomatix gallery pieces by either artists or features. See the HDRsoft gallery for inspiration and a demonstration of what it can do for you. Photomatix edited images are available all over the web that highlight its capabilities. You can download and use the Software for as long as you like, but it adds a Photomatix branded watermark to all photos you edit. If you are unsure about purchasing Photomatix right away, a free trial version is also available. For students, the company offers a 60-75% discount based on one’s academic status. HDRsoft has a form on its website for submitting a version 6 user request after upgrading. But there is a fee of $29 for previous users to access the Pro version.

Upgrading from version 5 to 6 is free, though. Plus, you can even share your license with someone else. On purchasing Photomatix, you get a single license that works on Mac, Windows, and several machines too.

Get the Pro version if you need to use it as a Lightroom plugin. With the Photomatix Pro version, you also get the brand new HDR Batch Plugin for Lightroom. Its Essentials’ version retails at $39 and is limited to only five bracketed images per project, while Photomatix 6 Pro costs $99 on HDRsoft’s official website. Unfortunately, Photomatix 6 Pro is not available as freeware. Commissions do not affect our evaluations. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a commission at no cost to you.
