Im Mexican my english is not too good but im gonna try to do my best

HDR mean High Dynamic Range, a Technique for stunning pictures merging 2 or more expusures of the same image.

I cant easily do more than 1 exposure on portraits, cuz' it's too dynamic, so i used a Raw file.

Using only 1 Raw file, and photoshop, some times photomatix, I try to get all de details from every picture, colors, shadow and highlight.

First photomatix merge the Raw, making the pseudo HDR file, then in photoshop, masking with original file, i can get a little (just a little) more natural picture.

Something like that i think, i hope u can understand!
