HDR software

[shwaip]

At the grand canyon, I took a bunch of pictures with varying exposure, planning on turning them into hdr photos. Anyone have suggestions for software to do this? Or perhaps tutorials?

OH HEY (http://icrontic.com/articles/hdr_photography)

Yeah I know. Wanted a few more opinions as well.

Photomatix is all I ever hear of; that said, back in the day I used Silverfast (http://www.silverfast.com/) scanning software with fantastic results, and I hear tell they have an HDR solution (http://www.silverfast.com/48bit-hdr-software/) as well. Knowing the intensity with which they make software, I imagine it has to be good, but I have no experience with it. All I know is that they take imaging very seriously. It might be worth a trial download.

Yeah, I only know of PMatix and PShop. If you get a chance to play with Silverfast, let us know. If you want to toss me your RAWs, we can have a shootout - Silverfast vs PhotoMatix.
