Hi guys!

Note: you will find even more presets here.

No new photo today as today I decided to release some of my favourite Photomatix Pro presets for you to use.

Presets are important part of photo editing workflow and Photomatix Pro is no different here. In case of spending half an hour moving the sliders I just choose preset adjust one or two sliders (most often saturation and temperature) and I can click "Processs button".

  1. Click download to start downloading presets.
  2. Then unzip them.
  3. Copy folder contents to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\HDRsoft\PhotomatixPro\Presets where UserName is your user name.
Below there is a list of all presets from this archive with a short description for what I use each of them. I decided to add a thumbnail showing the difference between the presets.
Also be sure to check out my HDR tutorial.

Preset ThumbnailsPreset NamePreset Description
BlackWhiteThis preset I use when I want to create Black & White HDR images.
CastleI use this preset when shooting architecture shots.
CemeteryI use this preset when creating some dramatic mood in the architectural shots. It also works quite well for me when shooting cemetaries.
CityI use this preset when shooting in the city and it's quite shadowy.
FountainI use this preset when shooting all kinds of fountains and sculptures.
GoldenHour1I use this preset when shooting HDR architectural shots during the golden hour. It makes images even more warm and golden.
GoldenHour2I use this preset when shooting HDR architectural shots during the golden hour. It makes images even more warm and golden. Note that it's a bit softer than GoldenHour1 preset.
Lake1I use this preset when shooting sunsets over lakes or seas.
Lake2I use this preset when shooting sunsets over lakes or seas.

Thank you for providing your Photomatix Presets, they have really helped me!

This is an absolute GOLD mine of presets!! I cannot thank you enough for sharing these. Few people are willing to let go of such prized information. I would be tempted to treat these like State secrets and kill before divulging the settings. I'm glad you are nicer than me!

Thank you! Your simple explanation in how to install the presets has made all the difference! I am finally able to add all of my presets from photomatix 3 into Photomatix 4.
Everything is now right with the world.

I like the presets, except there is no AppData folder anywhere on either of my computers. Is there an alternate location to put the presets?

What operating system do you use? And what version of Photomatix Pro?

Thank you Wojciech for sharing your work. I really appreciate this.

Wojciech....thank you so very much for sharing your presets. I, too, do some travel photography, but am fairly new to HDR, so these will be so helpful!

Thanks for the presets. Can't wait to try them

Thank you so much for this wonderful presets. :)

hank you very much! Nice presets
