How to get started with HDR?

[Art Scott]

Where does one find the instructions on doing HDR's?? Can this be achived with PSCS or does one need CS3? or some other software??

Thanks.

The wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging) (pretty good itself) led me to this (http://www.popphoto.com/howto/3038/how-to-create-high-dynamic-range-images.html).

Art,

I have been using Photomatix Pro (http://www.hdrsoft.com/). The demo version is fully featured, but watermarks the output image.

Cheers,

David

PSCS2 has merge to HDR feature. I have found the the Cambridge In Colour website tutorials very instructive. Here is a link to the HDR tutorial:
