what do you guys use for your HDR workflow? Mine goes something like this (and I'll try to post an example later...)

1 - shoot bracketed photos (duh)
2 - merge into HDR via Photomatix Pro 5

After this is when I get a bit confused and wonder what you prefer
2a - tone mapping
2b - exposure fusion

Do you try to generate contrast/saturation in Photomatix? Or move to LR5/Photoshop for additional editing/punch addition

Shoot Bracketed Photos
Merge to HDR as a 32bit tiff in photoshop
Open and edit in lightroom (32 bit essentially makes it a super-raw file) and that's where I do all of my recovery, colors, adjustments, anything.

Merge brackets with LightRoom Enfusion. Continue editing in LR. No traditional HDR or tone mapping here. And I usually work the best bracket over in LR (and PS as needed) to see if I can get what I need from one exposure before any EF takes place.
