All the 'High Dynamic Range' images in this gallery were created from a single RAW exposure. They were converted to HDR by using the 'Fill Light,' 'Highlight Contrast,' 'Shadow Contrast,' and 'Saturation' sliders in RawShooter Essentials. It's still available for free at www.pixmantec.com.
Cheating? Perhaps. But the results are just as good, IMHO.
