Tone mapped HDR image of Grand Canal Venice
 
Result after tone mapping the HDR image created from the 3 left photos.
Workflow in two steps: (1) HDR creation from menu "HDR/Generate", (2) Tone Mapping to reveal HDR from menu "HDR/Tone Mapping" (2nd step necessary to show highlights & shadows details in HDR image).
Note: Both steps done in Photomatix Pro, you don't need the plug-in for that. The resulting image has 8 or 16 bits/channel and can be further processed in any image editing application.
