Photomatix - HDR Software
HDR processing provides amazing dynamics and
ranges of contrast to images that are otherwise impossible. It is that contrast
that distinguishes not only a dark shadow from the sunlight, but shades within
the shadow and texture within the shade.

User Group. Gary's talk will encompass the following points:

About the presenter:
His day job is rather different;
he's a scientific glassblower for the Chemistry Department at California State
University, Los Angeles. He's also an author having written "The
Laboratory Companion," and writes reviews of Mac related hardware and
software for Applelinks.com. But for over 30 years he's been taking photos and
the last 7 years he's been shooting digital. However, for over a year now, his photographic
hobby has turned into a very focused passion: HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography.
It all started when he did a
review of Photomatix for Applelinks. He gave the software a high rating but
complained about the manual. To make a long story short, he wrote a manual for
Photomatix. (Unfortunately due to scheduling problems with versions, Gary's
manual is not quite available from HDRSoft (the company that makes Photomatix).)
