Hi All,
I don't hardly ever touch tone mapping, played around with it a couple times on the past computer when I had Corel, there is an auto button for it.
However now with the new computer I just got PS Elements 12, and while they added 64bit for Mac they did NOT for windows 8.
So I am without a very simple button for tone map or HDR.
My Mother is actually the one asking, as she in the past used my Corel on landscape photos every once in a while as a quick fix.
So I looked up plugins for her and found a couple that look doable and wanted input.
NIK looks to be a good one but the HDR is not available as a separate purchase that I can find.
Photomatix looks very popular, but more complex than one click that she's used to and a little pricey.
Also found one through JixiPix for cheap and works on one photo easily versus merging which she never does, she has a very very cheap P&S.
Any Input??
I also have LR5, but like I said my Mom just wants something easy one click that she won't need my help with.
Of course I'd like it around for that occasional image for OOTB.
Many thanks!!!
