Number of Source Images to process
Select the number of source images to process at a time: 2-11 or All.
All should only be selected if you are using the Process Subfolders option, or if the folder
processed contains only one set of bracketed exposures. When All is selected, Photomatix will
attempt to process all images in each folder, so it is important that only one set of source
images be in each subfolder.
It is possible to Batch Process multiple series of source images with varying numbers
of source images, if each series is in its own subfolder, and All is selected.
If all source images from multiple series are in a single folder, each series must
have the same number of source images. Images are processed alphabetically.
Image Alignment Options
Check Align Images, if correction for slight camera movements between source photographs is
needed.
When Align images is checked, the images will be cropped after alignment in order to remove
invalid areas on the edge due to the correction for misalignment shifts. If you want to skip the
cropping, then check the Don't crop option. This option may be useful if you are processing
images intended to be stitched together to create a panorama.
Select a source location
Photomatix allows multiple ways to select source images.
By Folder: Click on the Select Source Folder button and select a folder with images
to process. All images in that folder will show up in the file list.
By individual files: In this single files can be added to the file list.
In the case when Folder is selected, the Process subfolders option may be checked.
This option offers two sub-options.
o Sequentially: Processes the image files in one sub-folder, then moves on to the
next sub-folder, all of which are contained in the main, parent folder.
o Grouped by Exposures: In this case the sub-folders are organized by
exposures. As an example, if you have taken a series of three bracketed images,
one sub-folder contains all underexposed images, the next all normal exposed
images and the third one all overexposed images. Inside a sub-folder, the images
that belong to one image group (to be merged) need to be at the same relative
alphabetical position inside the sub-folder.
Use Process Subfolders if you have multiple series of source images which vary in
the number of source images they contain. The Batch Processing can process series
