Ta Don; how do you mean: with a separate bit of software like Photomatix, or something within Paint Shop Pro?

I use two programs--an old photo processing program called "photosuite 4" enables me to pick areas of the picture to alteer contrast or beta--and does it gracefully. I make versions of the picture with different exposures and alterations then recombine these in the hdr merge feature of Paintshop Pro 2. I am complimented that you ask.
