At present I'm using Photomatix. Works well, although I'm very much at the bottom of the learning curve. Just using presets. One thing I've noticed is that if I want to reduce the "HDR" effect, I use three images that are less than 1 EV apart each, and that tends to soften the "HDR" effect. That's what I used on my Diamondhead Lighthouse photo.
Welcome from Ft Lauderdale. Love my visits to Hawaii. I just started with Photomatix, but found that mine gives me several choices. I prefer my pictures to be close to real life. The grunge is fun only.
