Tone Mapping Plug-In version 1.2Beta3 (Universal Binary - works in Photoshop CS3 only)
|
|
OR |
|
Tone Mapping Plug-In version 1.1 (works in Photoshop CS2)
|
| |
|
Installation instructions: |
|
The disk image file you downloaded contains one folder named either "Tone Mapping 1.1" or "Tone Mapping 1.2Beta2" depending on the version. Double-click this folder and copy the file ToneMapping.plugin to "Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Plug-Ins/Filters" or "Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/Filters".
|
|
The next time you start Photoshop CS2/CS3, you should have an item named "Photomatix" with "Tone Mapping" as sub-item of Photoshop's Filter menu.
|
|
The plug-in is enabled on images in 32 Bits/Channel and 16 Bits/Channel mode. |
| |
|
Description: |
|
The Tone Mapping plug-in reveals details in highlights and shadows in HDR images. |
|
The resulting image can then be converted into an 8-bit or 16-bit file that shows the whole dynamic range available in the original HDR image. Because the tonal range has been compressed while maintaining local contrast, the tone mapped image is ready for display on standard monitors and prints. |
|
The Tone Mapping plug-in can also be applied to a 16-bit image resulting from RAW conversion. |
| |
|
Updates in version 1.2Beta: |
| - |
Universal Binary so that the plug-in loads in Photoshop CS3 on Intel-based Macs.
|
| - |
Added gamma slider (only works with 32-bit HDR images).
|
| - |
Bug fixed: trying the plug-in on the new layer of an HDR image should not crash Photoshop anymore.
|
| - |
Bug fixed: scripting should now be correctly supported.
|
|
| |
|
Updates in version 1.1: |
| - |
Added setting "Micro-smoothing". This setting
smoothes out local details enhancements, which has for effect of reducing noise in the sky for instance and tends to give a "cleaner" look
to the tone mapped image.
|
| - |
Made the settings sticky.
|
| - |
Renamed setting "Smoothing" into "Light Smoothing" and "Microcontrast" into "Micro-contrast", and changed the controls
of both settings from
pull-down menus to radio buttons. A value of "High" for Light Smoothing is now the equivalent of +1.
|
| - |
Extended the range of setting "Light Smoothing": it can now take a value of +2 (equivalent of "Very High") as maximum instead of +1 (equivalent of "High").
|
| - |
Fixed bug that produced almost black output, or white corners with some images.
