Christin, here is a sample picture in my gallery, actually one of the first HDR pictures I made using photomatix L I N K.
You can find the link for the free download if you like to use only drawback of free version is that it leaves watermark on your picture otherwise it is %100 functional program.

Glad I did not post a negative comment re the watermark now Sassan.

I did wonder when I viewed the image.

Default Using Raw to generate the images.

I have been using Raw to generate images. To use the full camera range. seems a useful technique, no registration issues. Probably won't give the range of separate exposures but seems to work in churches etc. The images can be blended in PS as layers.

Don; Little I know, has a lot to do with critiques I have received. Please feel free for any comment any time. I value them so much.
Well I could easily remove the visible watermarks but its both at the violation of contract using freeware and more importantly would be unethical in my part.
IMHO bottom line is HDR is here to last, would be good to use it wisely and when needed as the fashion of its utilization on every situation could be disgusting.

Carman; Like to see some of your pictures. RAW has been proven to be useful for this. Do you put the layers on each other and then using lower opacity, remove the area not wanted or use any other technique?

Christine; Check this one.

> > > L I N K < < <

Look for section; "How do I shoot an HDR image?"

Here is how Wikipedia describes it and I won't blame you if you felt confused after reading it; > > > L I N K < < <

Another O L D E R - L I N K.

And here are some examples:
L I N K - 1
L I N K - 2 Is a RAW converted to HDR.

The "road home" I just posted was not possible in single image. I made 2 psd files from RAW. Open the light one and paste the other as a layer. Using eraser at opacity of about 20% gradually erase the dark areas from the foreground. the beauty of this is 2 stops more latitude. You can also do it on moving images which two exposures won' work.

Sassan,many thanks for the links.The Older-Link was very interesting.Love to read how the work of the Old Masters is actually in line with some of our modern day techniques.Those painters were the true professionals re colour etc.If anyone else happens to read this thread,have a click on Sassans link,it really does make very interesting reading.
thanks Sassan.
ps.I will not be having a try with HDR,or even RAW,I guess a point and shoot is my limit!!.

I presume that you could use the same three images, but with the levels adjusted accordingly? I think I will give this a go.
