Did you do any touch-up work after you processed it in Photomatix?

Nope....they have just been Photomatix-ed.

Why?...do you think they require some touch up.

Am genuinely interested to learn.

I am more into the natural look. This looks very Photomatixish. but the last two are good.

it depens what you want. a more natural or more "dramatic" look?

I quite the Photomatixed look but didn't think any of the 4 posted were overly so.

Anyway, here are another 2.....which probably do look a bit tixed.

After I "photomatix" my shots,I send them back to either Lightroom or Photoshop for some touch up work. The photos look decent coming out of photomatix,but looks great after LR/PS. This is a screen shot of what I mean.

Also,be aware of the lighting slider. Its seems off on a few of your shots.

Thanks for the advice Whoty.

I like your motor bike photo.

What technique did you use to 'touch up' your photomatixed picture.
