HDR
Should have just tacked this onto the last post I put up...
Does anyone know of any good software that can put together high dynamic range shots and not cost as much as PS CS2?
I've been wanting to jump into it and have a bunch of RAW files waiting to be slapped together!
Thanks.
Mark.

photomatix provide a free trial ..
Another funny freeware is picturenaut.
As far as I know it is written and published by a user of a German dslr forum and all discussions around it are in German, but there is a English version, too.

I have tested picturenaut a while ago and it works well for DRI, HDR and TM.
cheers, Olli

I am into HDR for a month maybe. The best soft I’ve found so far is Photomatix Pro 2.4.1. My workflow is changing all the time. Now I prefer converting RAW to jpegs in PS CS3 and processing to HDR and then tone mapping in Photomatix. Or just working with only one RAW in PS CS3. Sometimes it gives better results.

Another arguement in favor of photoediting: the camera cannot approach the dynamic range of the human eye, so we must resort to techniques like this to overcome the limitations of our tools.
Very cool stuff!
Maybe someday we will have 32 or 64 bit imaging devices (cameras, software and displays) ... until then, this looks like a good approach.
Thanks, Mark, for the thread - I am learning a lot!
