Professional Imaging-Software (High Dynamic Range) High-end version for 48bit RAW data processing with JobManager, 48 bit color-corrected output, Virtual Light Table and much more (optional IT8 calibration).
SilverFast HDR 6.6 has been upgraded to support Camera raw data. All camera raw formats supported by SilverFast DCPro are now also available in SilverFast HDR 6.6.
In order to save RAW data with extended dynamic range (HDR - High Dynamic Range), the 48bit TIFF format and the CAMERA RAW format was developed. Even scanners or cameras with only 30 or 36 bit capability generate their maximum output range in this format. Regardless of the effective dynamic range supplied, the file will always become a 48 bit file. Normal scanning software saves images into a 24 bit file, discarding the extra information created by the scanner. 48 bit files retain all of the information supplied.
SilverFast HDR Software enables the user to read and process 48 bit RAW files without being connected to a scanner. In HDR, all SilverFast tools are available: Defining Output Size & Resolution, Auto-Adjust of Highlight/Shadow, Three Part Histogram, Gradation Curves, Selective Color Correction, Unsharp Masking, Color Cast Removal Slider, Color Separation, CMYK-Preview and more.
- Version 6.6.1r1 DCPro and HDR versions, all scanner versions with iSRD: HDRi Format added.
- All iSRD Scanner versions can now save 64 Bit HDRi Color images or 32 Bit HDRi Grayscale images. Those files contain 48 Bit / 16 Bit Raw image data AND 16 Bit raw Infrared channel Information. So this is a COMPLETE raw scan for capable scanners. Those images can be loaded and processed with iSRD by DCPro and HDR versions

Photomatix Pro 3.2b5
Photomatix Pro is a comprehensive and easy-to-use tool which extends the dynamic range of digital photographs or scanned films. more>> Photomatix Pro 3.2b5 is a comprehensive and easy-to-use tool which extends the dynamic range of digital photographs or scanned films. If you have ever shot a high contrast scene, you probably know the problem: blown out highlights and loss of contrast in shadows. Photomatix offers two ways to solve this:
- Exposure blending: combining images taken at different exposures into one image with increased dynamic range
- Tone Mapping: processing a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to compress its tonal range while preserving local contrast.
The result is an image that you can display on standard monitors, while preserving the details of the original scene in highlights and shadows.
The trial is fully functional and never expires. However, a watermark will be applied to images produced via Tone Mapping, 48-bit Compression and 4 of the 6 combination modes. All other features are free to use.

Photomatix Pro for Mac 3.0.2
Offers two ways to solve the problem of Exposure Blending and Tone Mapping. more>> Photomatix Pro is a stand-alone program that runs on Mac OS X and Windows
The benefits of using Photomatix Pro include:
-Saving on lighting equipment
Given that most digital cameras can auto-bracket at different exposures, you do not need to acquire expensive lighting equipment -and carry it- when shooting high contrast scenes. Just enable Auto Exposure Bracketing, and let Photomatix merge your photos into an image with extended dynamic range.
-Saving time in post-processing
Photomatix Pro is designed for productivity -- automatic blending, unlimited stacking, easy comparison of results and batch processing save hours of masking and layers work in image editing programs.
-Taking advantage of your 32-bit images
Have you created a 32-bit HDR image in Photoshop CS2 and could not get a good HDR conversion? The Photomatix Tone Mapping tool may help. See how it compares to Photoshop CS2 HDR conversion.
-Great pictures on cloudy days
Shadowless hazy sunlight or an overcast sky usually results in dull-looking photographs. The tone mapping tool of Photomatix Pro can turn them into great-looking images. Check this image as example.
-Noise reduction
The Exposure Blending functions of Photomatix Pro merge any number of bracketed photos -- this process is equivalent to image stacking, which tends to reduce noise in the resulting image.
-Well exposed panoramas
A panoramic scene is almost always a high contrast scene -- you cant limit your view to areas with the same brightness when shooting a 360 panorama.<<less

Bracketeer 4.0b1 is considered as a GUI front-end application for "Enfuse" which is a useful command-line tool used to merge different exposures of the same scene to produce an image.
It looks very much like a tonemapped image (without the halos) but requires no creation of an HDR image. Therefore it is much simpler to use and allows the creation of very large multiple exposure images.
Bracketeer was specifically designed for use with panorama photography, but it will work perfectly well for any standard photographs as well. You can give it up to 6 bracketed shots of any scene, and then it will Enfuse them into a final output image where you can see the details in the shadows, and the bright areas are not blown out.
Bracketeer is free to all owners of Pangea Software's PanoPreviewer tool which costs $19.95. It uses the same PanoPreviewer serial number. The utility will run in a limited demo mode without a serial number.
Major Features:
- Simply Drag & Drop your image files into the Bracketeer Window (can be almost any file format: jpeg, tiff, png, psd, and even camera RAW files).
- Once the source images are loaded simply click the "Enfuse It!" button to make the magic happen!
- Bracketeer always outputs a lossless TIFF file.
Enhancements: As many of you know, Bracketeer broke with the release of Mac OS 10.6. The only way to fix it was to completely rewrite it from scratch, and that's what version 4.0 is. All of the features should be in and working now, but it hasn't been fully tested.
Requirements: Bracketeer is for Mac OS X 10.4 or later. It is a Universal Binary application, so it runs native on either a PowerPC or Intel based Mac.much like a tone-mapped image (without the halos) but requires no creation of an HDR image.

Rainbow Painter 3.1 brings you a astonishingly flexible tool which comes with lots of exciting features and technologies. Aimed at professionals and amateurs alike, it supports 32-bit float/channel HDR, which permits adjustments to be made back and forth without losing quality. There is also a revolutionary new pattern editing mode, which puts the old technique of using a so called "Offset Filter" to achieve seamless tiles to shame.
When switching on the repeat function in Rainbow Painter (horizontally, vertically or both), not only will the image be displayed repeatedly, but all effects support this mode and brush strokes will continue over the edges when drawing.
HDR & Floating Point Precision. Conventional programs use 8 bits per channel (red, green, blue, alpha), an integer value of 0-255, which is only 256 possible levels. Rainbow Painter uses 128 bitsLicense:Trial
