Hi
I have tried several including PS CS4. For me the best I have used is Photomatix Pro. It is very versatile and I like the results. Cheers, Richard

Agreed, Photomatix is excellent! If you want something free (not as good, but free!) try this http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-high-dynamic-range-hdr-so...

Yes, it's called dynamic hdr. You can use a couple of images to create your hdr image or just one image but it's got to be a raw image file

using photomatix you can also load copies of the same image to tonemap when you only have one jpeg exposure to work with.

I just bought the book "A World in HDR" by Trey Ratcliff. He claims the Photomix Pro is the best software for HDR. You can get a 15% discount by typing in STUCKINCUSTOMS. Ratcliff's blog is www.StuckInCustoms.com which is an interesting read.

I use Photomatrix light. There is a version online you can use for free. I bought Elements 8 for its HDR, before trying PM light. PM does a much better job, at les than half the price, about $40.
