The last time I tried Romans HDR Blend tutorial I hit a roadblock for using PS-Elements. I now have full CS4 so I'm trying it out again. I guess what messes me up now the most is never really dinking around with color curves before, so I am not to sure on how to use them to make the necessary changes discussed in the early steps. The Fuzziness/ Feathering is pretty straight forward though, so I'm at least confident in that regard.

I'd like to know if I'm at least on the right track with processing. Here is the original image (raw to jpeg no processing), and below my blend attempt. I also have the RAW if anyone wants to show off the image potential.
