Which HDR software are you using?

[kwttan]

Would like to find out which HDR software are more popular among the CS members.
Can share why you choose the particular HDR software?

Photomatix and Photoshop CS5. Depening on what effect I want to go for.

Photomatix Pro

An old copy of Photomatix pro. Sometimes PS works well for certain shots.

I switch between Photomatrix and Photoshop for different effect.

I'm thinking of whether to get Photomatix. I already have Adobe CS2 but not sure how CS2's HDR (which i've yet to try) compares with CS5 or Photomatix. Alternatively I can upgrade from CS2 to CS5 but it's expensive.

 

[kwttan]

To-date, looks like most people are using Photomatix Pro (74%) and follows by Photoshop CS5 HDR Pro (16%).

 

[Akatsuki]

photomatrix pro is pretty user-friendly... hence the high pick up? anyway, after evaluating a few software, went back to photomatrix pro again.. haha

I tried LightCompressor for Mac (USD 0.99 only!). I think its not bad for those on a tight budget and looking for something easy to use. Mac only.

No probs. I just realised I can drag RAW files from my 5D Mark II into the software and it automatically sets the HDR. Very neat!
