Hello, It is thanks to you that I discovered Photomatix, especially because of the special effects that this program allows. Now I treat almost all my photographs with this program because it makes it possible to have much out of a digital file. Images with large contrasts, back-lights, buildings and also the flowers arise much better without that being noticed that it is a treatment HDR. I avoid a too marked effect HDR because the visitors of my blog finds that then the colors are not natural, but sometimes just like you thus I like them, so much worse for those which do not like. So long, Frank PS Translation from French. :-)
