Looking forward to a tutorial! In the meantime, I will try to find a moment this weekend to experiment again.....

Hi Lenita;
The "Tonemapping" panel can be a little daunting if you don't understand what the parameters mean. They are much like what is done in Photoshop, but they are much more complicated algorithms for manipulating an image. Because 3 or more differently exposed images are used, or one raw file processed using different exposure settings, they are designed to bring together, so to speak, the images into one image that contains the entire dynamic range of the combined images. For an explanation of these parameters go to
Open Source Photography: Parameters for tone mapping operators. By adjsuting, and experimenting with those adjustments, and then applying them, you will start to see how the finished product should look like. After making the adjustments that you want, click on the "Save As" button, and the dialoque box drop downs at the bottom should give you the choice of where you want to the file go, and the file format. If this does not work in your program let me know what you do see. t
I think that the above is enough for you to digest for awhile. Get back to me if you need more help.
As always
