good HDR program to use?

Although there are others, Photomatix is the best at the moment. Try not to turn the controls up to high as it can over-do HDR and will feed fire to the HDR decenters....

thanks for that, going away this weekend so trying to download it now so I can have a play with it.

This link maybe of use :)

HDR from JPGsI’ve ran a test using my dancer image and it seems that you can get just as good a result using 3 JPGs instead of 3 TIFFs. Its probably better to use TIFF’s as they will store more detail, but if you want can use JPGs well enough. There is a definite difference in using JPGs and TIFFs. I prefer the TIFF look. JPGs seem more saturated and noisier.

it depends what you mean...
i usually use 3 jpegs (-2,0,+2 exposures) and this is the norm. Do you mean using a single jpeg? if so, you can.... but it looks *****e.

No, I meant using Jpegs rather than Raw images and it appears you do, thanks!
 
Hmm...interesting question. I normally shoot RAW so can I shoot -2, 0, +2 in RAW or would they have to be Jpegs.
