I use Photomatix to make HDR photos for my tours, I simply use
1. "Batch Bracketed Photos"
2. Select "Fuse exposures with Fusion/Natural" and it take a few minutes going through my select directory and I am done.
If I choose "Fuse Exposures with Fusion/Realistic" it looks a bit richer but it takes way to long.
1. What HDR programs are you using
2. What tweak/setting do you use to produce the best images
3. Show us some example.
Thank you
