I use the same software, il have to try using smooth compressor as have'nt tried that yet.
Do you start with the original exposure at -0- and then do 2 at +1 & -1? or different exposures, always been a bit confused with this.
I agree with getting the tonal range right and not make the image look OTT but i still dont feel i get that HDR effect.
