Section 4: Automating with batch processing
Batch processing lets your computer automatically process image files with no user intervention.
This can save you a lot of time when you have many series of photos to process. Photomatix
Pro offers two different batch modes. Both are available under the “Automate” menu:
Processing of series of bracketed photos: this is done with “Batch Processing”
Processing of single image files: this is done with “Single File Conversion”
The “Batch Processing” function, intended for series of bracketed photos, is particularly useful
for creating 32-bit HDR image files ready to be tone mapped individually. If you open another
session of Photomatix Pro, you can start working on the first images while Batch Processing is
still processing the remaining exposure series.
The “Batch Processing” function is also useful for trying different Tone Mapping or Exposure
Fusion methods for your source images. This way, you can then select the method that gives
the best results for each exposure sequence.
