The sample I used for this tutorial has quite dramatic differences in exposure. You would struggle to get the same level of detail, saturation and crispness to your final image. But worth having a go to see if you like the results. That of course is the main thing.

Thanks for the tips. This method often looks much more natural than HDR, probably as many people go everboard in HDR which results in ugly halos and really unatural looking shots.

I often couple this technique after the HDR process through Photomatix to further extend the dynamic range and bring back some realism. There are better and fast ways to get the tones you need to blend in place, such as the blend if function under layer options.
