I just did my first shoot for a second job I just took up. It's indoor and external real estate photography (and virtual tours.) I want to impress the real estate agent, and I think HDR would be good to get the views out the windows visible. When I took the photos today I bracketed like a motherfucker. I haven't paid any attention to photo gear or software for about three years. What's a good HDR merging program? I'd like something that's just an HDR program and not a photo processing suite. I broke my good computer so I'm on something a little slow and underpowered. Of course I'd like a program that's free but I'd be fine buying something later. I just need to do an HDR merge on a lot of pictures tonight. I can figure out the perfect solution later, but right now I just need to get these done. Any help?

No. 9 posted:Photomatix Pro 3. Be really really light on the HDR if you're gonna do it, though. I downloaded it and I'm going to try it. Don't worry, I share your disgust with overly-done, tacky HDR. This is the only photography I've ever needed it for, since it's so high-contrast. Thanks!

evensevenone posted:you can also open up each of the images as layers in photoshop, use your inside-metered image as the background layer, then mask off the outside-metered image so that it is only visible on the windows. since the windows are probably a fairly simple shape that may work better, photomatix will probably leave some halos. Any method that's marginally labor-intensive will make this job much less worth it. I've got to figure out a way to do these photo batches quickly or my pay (if you count it hourly, I mean) plummets. I haven't had good results with Photomatix yet, but I haven't had much time to learn it. I don't NEED to make them HDR but I want them to look noticeably more impressive than the last person they had doing them. I took her last photographer's rate for this first shoot but I want her to be wowed so I can ask for more money for my regular rate. I told her I'd wait to quote my rate once I did one shoot and got a feel for what kind of work it is and how long it would take.
