What is HDR??? How does it work?

Thanks. I'll take a look at it. Up to now, when I shoot a sunset in HDR, I've been using Cloudy as the WB setting when I create the HDR image. Then, after tone-mapping and some post-processing in Photoshop, I run it through either Topaz Adjust or Topaz Detail. This last step adds the "edge" to the image. I created a preset by modifying the Spicify preset in Topaz Adjust. I like the effect it has with sunsets. For images I've shot during the day, I usually use either the Mild Color Pop or the Photo Pop presets.

Thanks. I'I usually set my WB on Cloudy for sunsets over the lake when I'm doing HDR photos. I usually do a lot of work in post-processing anyway; so I haven't seen the need for using a gray card. After processing, I run most of my images thru either Topaz Adjust or Topaz Detail for that final tweak.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it but I'm pretty satisfied with using my camera to set the WB.
