Photomatix is like crack; you just can't do a little. Try the NIX ColorEFX or Topaz Studio and the Adjust filter.... For that, you need an editing program that supports layers.
Ok... used the Photomatix output as a layer on top of DxO Photolab 3 raw develop to TIF and used Affinity Photo to align layers and set HDR layer to 40% plus inpainting to clear up an eye sore sign. Not as crunchy.
Could probably use a bit of sharpening...
