HDR (High Dynamic Range) image manipulation

[atomcrusher]

I have searched this forum but did not find much about High Dynamic Range (HDR) image compiling. Is there any HDR software that guys here would recommend other than Photomatix (which dumps a watermark on the created image )? i.e. any Freeware to create clean HDR images??

I know you pay for it, but it appears to be the best out there - but pricey I think.

I can't remember the names, but when I got interested in HDR, I tried a number of free programs ... but nothing really compared to either the results or ease of use of Photomatix

Mac or PC? I used this on my mac.

Thanks .. I am embarrassed to admit I had never heard of HDR until earlier today, so would like to give it a try.

Has anyone tried this opensource HDR program?
http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/

Or any of these? http://en.softonic.com/s/hdr-freeware

Well call me a sissie then as I love what you can do with it.

Example:

To OP, you can try out http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/?p=239 Its open source and totally free for any OS.

I just blend multiple exposures together in GIMP to try and get better dynamic range. It's not perfect but it works.

What is the difference between blending and HDR?

Takes more time and practice, but looks way more natural...
