That's an OS problem. For my D5100 Windows 8 shows the thumbnails. Not that I really care, as LR and ViewNX2 do everything I need.

HDR just means High Dynamic Range. IT's nothing particularly to do with bracketing (though bracketing and combining shots is a way to get more dynamic range) or even the horrible over processed "HDR look". How you get HDR is up to the particular situation.
I see HDR as seeing more in the scene than usual or even better, making the scene like it would to your eyes. With details in both the whites and the darks. NOT over-processed nonsense.
Exactly. The over cooked stuff is just that over cooked, burnt in my opinion.

Um, it's 'grok' (nod to Robert Heinlein here) and I don't get it either, nor why the blue line continues (dashed) vertically at that point.
