A few years ago I did some real estate photographer for friends when they were selling their homes and bought Photomatix to create hdr images that would have the best dynamic range to show off the interiors.
Today I was looking at an image I had edited using the Redynamix plug-in for which I had lost the license code and the Photomatix Pro program popped into my brain and I thought I think I can use that for similar results, so I fired it up and opened the jpg image at the left which I cropped and ran through Photomatix "realistic" processing and was amazed at what it had discovered with very little effort on my part. I think it is totally amazing.
Since this is a screen grab I couldn't include the EXIF info, so I'll add as a screen grab from Photoshop in the next image.
