Well, it definitely works.
It does capture a good field of depth and the clarity is also excellent.
So i will say i love it, as i can't see what there is to hate about it.

It looks great, but seems to rely on several bracketed images - howdya get the dog to stay put long enough? Or do posh digcams take them instantly?

Cool - so why isn't it installed directly into cameras? Is there an element of human judgement needed, picking out which areas need their exposure changing, or is it a case of "watch this space"?

Mines called "Photomatix Pro3 "

Alan ...........its does the whole picture but there lots of controls and fiddly bits

theres a free trial somewhere and it leaves a watermark on it but it allows you to have a play

No it doesn't!

It works with jpegs as well. Whether it works as well I don't know.

Google HDR from jpegs, there's a tutorial there.

Cakey,

Thanks mate, I've managed to download a "special" copy that seems to be working without the watermark:wh. It's 3.2pro portable version.

I'll have a play and see how I get on.

Did you look at the Kings College UDR?? What do you think?

Colin
