I dont want to give up though. Iv been using photoshop for so many years, Im sure there is a way to do it so that it looks good its probably just overly complicated and I havent figured it out yet
Hmm I've tried it multiple times. Never ended up with a good result. Tried Photomatix for the first time - bam finally got myself a decent HDR. This was the first HDR I produced in Photomatix (didn't even read any tutorials or particularly play about with the software): http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonbrown2013/8578516612/in/set-72157633078706994
Anyway, are we ready for the poll?
