Hi
Sorry I keep meaning to come here and get involved and find other responsibilities mean i miss out. Really I must be more organised with what I am doing. I do want assistance and want to get involved with the forums, like the idea of projects and competitions members can participate in and will set aside time each day here from today.

regards to all

Nigel

Yo Steve

Download HDR photo software Photomatix

Photomatix used it once on trial and bought it, it is so easy to use and good results as well

Thanks for the tips and links you all here have provided re HDR especially software links which I have downloaded to use in Photoshop CS3 basically tone mapping. Now I feel more confident will get the image finish I want.

Photomatix is excellent, I downloaded the trial and ended up getting the full version, You can put Raw files straight into it and also You can get great results from using one raw file by duplicating the file in PS with different exposures and saving them as tif files, The Smithy which is my gallery is done from one file.
The other HDR software which I think Pixl8 ( Alan) uses looks pretty good too,which is Dynamic photo HDR software... I downloaded the free trial version, I prefered photomatix and I also find the HDR one in CS2 not a patch on the dedicated softwares.
