how to

[chiangrai]

I have no clue how to do this HDR stuff...it looks pretty sweet though. Can you do it with paint shop pro x2?

Thanks,

You first need to find a scene in which it's nearly impossible to get the whole scene. What I mean is that sometimes your camera, because of the differences in light, cannot accurately capture an entire scene, so you take different exposures and then blend them using various software. Most folks use Photomatix, and although tons of people want a cheaper or free way to do it, Photomatix is the best program. You can get it cheaply with discounts. Contact them for their list of available discounts. Some are substantial, saving anywhere from 15-75%. Heck, sometimes they even give 100% off if you're a photography student. The program is outstanding.
