Photomatix question

[Dmitri]

So I have a 23 image HDR, 1 stop apart. I load the whole thing into photomatix, it aligns, etc etc. A few minutes later, it's ready to go. Yay!
Now - I find there are two or three settings that I like, and want to save the images as TIF to look at later with fresh eyes. The problem is that, once I process it, it's done. I would have to load all 23 images back in again and wait... suckage!

So the question - is there a way to process an image without losing what you've already loaded in, so you can process again with different settings?

I believe if you do a batch conversion it will save an HDR file that you can open later with photomatix and edit to hearts content. Whenever i do a bunch of HDR's I open photomatix, go into batch conversion, and change the settings to what i need. When it is done converting, it will have a few different jpegs, as well as an HDR file that you can open and process different ways

ok, I'll check that out. Never thought of it, thanks!

ok also I found out, in case anyone else needs to do the same, that if you enable "view intermediary 32bit image" you can save that as .HDR file. Mine was disabled.
