| What is it? |
|
The Photomatix SDK is a High Dynamic Range Imaging Library composed of: |
| - |
A Dynamic Link Library (DLL) containing 12 functions performing the features listed below |
| - |
The complete API (Application Programming Interface) documentation |
| - |
Two sample codes (command line C/C++ program) that show how to use the DLL for 10 of the functions provided |
|
Note: This HDR library is intended for being used inside an existing application that already handles
browsing, reading and writing image files. If you are rather interested in calling the functions of
Photomatix Pro as a separate process from your application, please have a look at the
command line version of Photomatix Pro.

The Photomatix SDK provides functions to: |
| - |
Merge and combine differently exposed images via Averaging or three modes of Exposure Blending |
| - |
Create 32-bit High Dynamic Range images from multiple exposures |
| - |
Align differently exposed photographs that are out-of-register |
| - |
Retrieve dynamic range and logarithmic histogram from an HDR image |
| - |
Converts 32-bit HDR into 8-bit LDR images with a basic tone mapping (note: this is not the Tone Mapping tool of Photomatix Pro) |
| - |
Remap the HDR image of a Mirror Ball into Latitude/Longitude format |

Read & write HDR images in Radiance RGBE format |
