Best Free HDR Packages???

leeharrison2 · 19 Apr 2011

I really want to have a play around more with HDR and have been told that Photoshop isn't that great, does anyone know any good free software that is good??? a lot of people suggested photomatrix so I down loaded the basic version but it was no good really...

Yes I've had it for some time and can get some good results

I'll give it a whirl too then, can beat free software!

Oleneo will shortly not be free. Those already subscribed to the beta version will get a discount.
Much perfer it than Photomatix.

Been having a play with it and very simple to use, got some good results from some of my images with tweaking in the Auto tone mapping mode which is a dream to use

I see the current Beta trial version is free until 1st June.
But will the Beta download stop working after that date ?

Yes. It will then be available to purchase. Those already subscribing to the Beta version will receive a 25% discount. It may still be possible to subscribe, but I am not sure.
