![]() ![]() I have used both methods and I have found that both have their place…but having said this I cannot replicate the results I get with Photomatix using ACR.This is not just a fanboy comment but one based on using both methods for the same image many times in practice.What I have found is that Photomatix gets a bad rap because it gets used with a heavy handed approach. So it’s probably not too far off before we start seeing 32 bit plug-ins as well.) Reply ![]() (I remember only three or four years ago that many of the current plugins were finally upgraded to work in 16 bit mode. About half the adjustments are able to work in 32 bit mode. I’m pretty sure they will be upgraded to 32 bit in the not too distant future. After taking the 32bit image into PS, after finishing ACR, have you considered staying in 32 bit for other things like sharpening and using luminosity and color grade masking? The main downside for me to that is that curves adjustments are still limited to 16 bit. But then, Olympus is known for having a tone of info in the highlights vs other RAW files. I had done some comparison in the past between PS and Photomatix on the Olympus RAW files and preferred the PS. I expect some of the experiences we each have are varied a bit by the sensor and how PS handles that particular RAW file(s). I’ve used this method for awhile, and there is a detailed article explaining 32 bit truths and myths here: that has been very useful for me.
