It does seem rediculous having paid so much for CS3 it does not do as well as what other software can.

Hi Nigel, I have CS2 and I have one shot that is in my gallery which is of my back garden:
http://www.phototopix.co.uk/gallery/...035&ppuser=194
The whole HDR job was processed through CS2, this one turned out OK and I did a couple of others that I did in the house, they turned out ok too, but IMO many others I tried were not a patch on the Photomatix, maybe I was using it wrong but couldn't get the same results as in Photomatix, I tried the same images in both software, you can try it but it didn't work for me, Photmatix was miles better IMO.
The trial software stamps a watermark on all the images which did me head in so ended up buying the full version which has no watermark.
I know the photomatix plug in for Cs3 is bit cheaper than buying the seperate photomatix program, not sure if it is exactly the same as the seperate one like mine though, maybe ask photomatix.
I understand your predicament regarding the price of CS3 and then having to buy more software.
The choice... as they say...is yours.
Hope that was helpful Nigel.
