Has anyone played with Media Chance Dynamic Photo HDR? I'm browsing their manual in work, and came across their Light Mask feature. That feature alone looks pretty darned interesting.
I guess that I'd describe it as a Curve applied to the HDR, a curve that creates a mask which affects the Strength of the HDR processing. Also interesting is that it has a Blur option to blur the mask.
Light Mask also includes a Hue Graph which allows you to play with the coloring by changing the hue of specific colors. It also uses a Curves theme to soften the changes. I'd guess that this could be done post-processing in Photoshop, but - if this works how I imagine - it should work better on the full 32-bit HDR.
The manual is at http://www.mediachance.com/hdri/help/index.html, then expand Tone Mapping, and go to Light Mask.
I'll have to try this software soon.
