Thanks. I am afraid that the images don't look as sharp as they original. I also have been a photographer since the 70s. Did studio portrait and commercial photography. I graduated to digital after changing careers. Currently I use a Lumix DMC GF2. I do mostly street photography, and this camera works well as it is small and doesn't seem like a professional camera.

I'm liking it. How did you process this ? Thanks

I first shot them in RAW with a Lumix DMC GF2 camera making five images of each at different exposures. I then chose three that were good, one over exposed, one normal, and one under exposed and processed them with Photomatix software. At that point 100% looks very sharp.
Then I took that fused image and processed it in GIMP. I duplicated the image and increased the darkness in one so that light areas would somewhat match the darker areas. Then I layered those images with the lighter on top and erased the light areas to show the darker image below.
Finally, I scaled the image down to 800 x 600 (with no interpolation) because the image size was too large for it to upload well from my computer.
