Thanks, Paw Paw Bill. This explanation really helps me to understand what is happening with the whole process. I really appreciate it ! Nice to know the reason for it and how it works basically. I will use this in the future. I like the look of it so much. I have looked at the photomatix site and will try a free download soon. Do you use this one too?
I type slower than I can think (which is also getting slower since I passed 65). I left off a 'not' in my post. Digital cameras can NOT capture the full range of light in a single photo. Film can get more, but not all, unless you use special emulsions that probably are not available anymore (even they could not get it all).
I don't do much HDR, but, currently Photomatix is as good as it gets. Others may equal and I am sure that soon, they all will get better.
