Fair enough. I do not use HDR in Photoshop as I did not upgrade to CS2. However, I have been using the heavy use of layers to try to mimic filters...and regretting not having been using them. The amount of work that I have added to my PS time to account for the varied dynamic ranges within images has been significant. Several folks, including Steve Kossack, were using them pretty extensively in our workshop (also the Singh Ray filters) though many seemed to shun them. I have been debating adding them to my catalog, particularly in hindsight.
