But, I now have most of it all working.

I tried out the preview of photomatix,
qtpfsgui, and a couple of the others.

# Go nuts!! It works like shit on my machine(s).
Bombs half the time. But it does have the bulk of
the PFS tool set right there for you to try out.
Drago is cool, and Fattal (what those are) is fun.

# Yay!
More exposures or higher bit depth can add some more to
that, but in some cases just the one will work fine. Nicely!

# You need to adjust the smoothing values on yours.
They don't look right.

Here's a very good tutorial: realitydream.extra.hu/main.php?module=tutorial&page=3&language=eng

# Yep, I can do those. But I like doing the noisy ones too.
I can do those. But I like doing the noisy ones too.For best results you need more exposures(I only have 10bit RAW) this is 5 and Drago

Also supersmooth example with 7 and Fattal

The sharpening when they are like that makes

# my brother has been doing HDR for a while
I have no examples here though, although I do know he uses a program called Dynamic photo HDR and its pretty damn good.

# MacOSX Intel only, alas.
Looks like it does most of the standard ones and the output
examples look good. I'm going to have to make a mutant
MacTel box to try some of these intel only apps someday.
