I forgot to mention that I found I had to use EC +1 for interior shots.

Google for browser exif plugin.

I shot this yesterday. Not for real estate obviously. 14mm on APS-C. Converted to 16bit tiff in DPP, then geometric on verticals in DxO. Then into Ps. Don't know if I'm mashing my pixels to pulp going such an in-and-out route! I thought somewhere in some app there was a button you pressed to get all, repeat ALL, geometric distortions ironed out!!

But I'll go ask in technique or some place.

DPP can get you most of the way there, if you shot with the camera level in the first place. It corrects lens distortion, but not perspective or keystone. But your white balance seems very off...?

Sorry, I misspoke. DPP cannot correct lens distortion for jpegs, so it cannot correct the resultant HDR. I go to CS5 for that if necessary. I find that just keeping the camera level minimizes the need for PP and creates a natural looking image.

Here's more...

Shot another house today (when it rains it pours!) and the realtor wanted to see the interior done both ways - HDR and flash. So this gallery is a decent comparison:

Sometimes HDR is not the best tool for the job. Most of the time I think it is. Other times it's the only way, like #8 which simply could not be flashed.

Anyway, I'm loving it.

OK, thanks.

Yes it has a definite "look" to it, which has its place, as said.

Works well for twilight shots too!
