It is an open source interface for HDR imaging. I have never tried it, but I think it is popular.

Great HDR! It really simple and not overdone, but it shows the greatness of HDR.

two different operators?

I've tried HDR images but I have a hard time knowing what to adjust..???

[EOBeav]

Yes, qtpfsgui is an open source app for processing HDR and tonemapped images. It uses 'operators' that can be adjusted and downloaded as .jpegs for further editing. I took two of those operators, adjusted and downloaded them, and then layered and further adjusted in GIMP to get what you see here.

My goal with HDR/tonemapping is not for a surreal effect, but for an effect that's as close to the real thing as possible. Here's another shot I processed similarly that shows what I'm trying to accomplish:

Not sure, but the software I used are free downloads, so give them a try.
