My review will be brief and not as interestingly critiqued as many of the other 5 stars were.
I bought the book because I was only interested in “PHOTOMATIX’, and how to use it.
This book goes much further than just photomatix which did annoy me some. So, the actual pages
dedicated to Photomatix were not that many, which I disliked.
But, I can highly recommend this book. Its much better than some others out there
The book “Mastering HDR Photography” by Michael Freeman was a total disaster for me.
I’m quite sorry I bought that book simply because it was much to much difficult to comprehend.
But, yes, this book by Carr and Correll is excellent. It also shows the reader some of the
actual setting that you can also use to get a sensational picture. AND, you also can leave those
setting in place to use again for all your future photos if you desire to do that, which I have.
I just wish that there’d be a decent book solely about Photomatix……..

Capturing what the eye actually sees has been the subject of photography books almost forever. It seems today’s digital technology gives us tools to overcome the most serious limitation, dynamic range.
The authors of HDR Photography, Pete Carr and Robert Correll do a good job of explaining the problem and why it occurs. More importantly, they demonstrate solutions, starting at when the photo is taken, to newly available tools for post processing.
This is one of the Wiley `Photo Workshop’ books where the emphasis is on the reader actually taking photo `assignments’ rather than a lot of abstract book learning. The book is filled with real-world examples which lends itself to this approach.
I’m glad to have HDR Photography in my library.

Unlike other HDR books I have seen, this one is intended for Photoshop Elements users. The others are directed mainly at users of the full Photoshop program. If you’re using Elements, this is the book for you.
