Same here. I have heard some good things about the Nik software-- but haven't used it for HDR.

Thanks for the reply all. Geclevel nice pictures like them all . really like how you captured the eyes of the young ladies. I do have a hard time with that area when using a flash. Red eye. :roll:

If you have Photoshop CS5 or 6, you can do HDR, but you are not going to get the same results as you do with Photomatix, particularly v 5., which has some great additions to the feature set.

Nik Collection HDR is quite good when it works--on my computer it has been less than reliable--the other programs in Nik Collection work just fine---If I had it to do over again I would probably use a different HDR program

Photomatix Pro is probably the most commonly used, with lots of online instruction available.

For the first couple of years that I did HDR, I used Photomatix. It was good, but I always felt like I was fighting with it to keep my images from going to the "grunge" side. I tried Nik once, but I wasn't sure if I liked it. I tried CS5's HDR and decided it was not at all what I wanted; it just didn't jump out at me. So I tried Nik again. I LOVE IT! Nik gives me the choice of how far I want to push my HDR images: grunge or high depth, it's my choice. The other thing I've come to love about Nik is that if you have the entire suite, you can render an image as HDR, then convert it to B&W and have a really rich image.
Finally, I can't say enough good about the Tone Mapping (single image HDR) capability of Nik's software. My advice: try them all. Most software has a "free trial" version; take advantage of it. If you don't have time to do that, buy the Nik suite. It's superior. Check out my website; many of my images are either HDR or Tone Mapped.
Good luck.
