It offers a range of features to optimize your images, including automatic alignment for hand-held shots, ghost removal, noise reduction, and the correction of chromatic aberrations. Moreover, Photomatix Pro provides extensive customization options, enabling users to achieve their desired aesthetic, from natural-looking results through exposure fusion to the creation of painterly, surreal, or hyper-realistic images using the tone mapping mode.
