In his blog for Adobe, Photoshop principal product manager John Nack points to two videos on "soft" tonemapping techniques for people creating high dynamic range (HDR) images in Photoshop.

The videos were created by Jack Howard, director of new & social media for Adorama Camera's Learning Center. In his TechTock screencast tutorials, Jack Howard shows a different way to tone map 32-bit HDR images in Photoshop CS4 using adjustment layers and other tools and treatments before applying the local adaptation curves controls when dropping bit depth.

HDR images are amazing. After I have discovered HDR the photography is not still the same for me.
