Try to reach the same look in any of this tools but this was not possible because of the differnt names and settings of them. Very interesting for me was to see how the deghosting funktions worked or not. Only the first 4 tools did it well ... please have a look at the ear and the back of the dog. (handheld shot and the dogs heat and back has movement) DO NOT VOTE ! ...it is only a test that i want to show you. Maybe we can share experiences about tonemapping-tools .

WOW, I think think this is a great test. Nice comparison of them all. I used to use Luminance and can tell you the de-ghosting on that was simply BAD. I have had huge success with Photmatix

Agree , i use Photomatix 3.2 and i am happy with that ... the photoshop deghosting workes well to but i'm not happy with the tonemapping in it.

Thats my favorit too. I don't know if i can reproduce the same look with any other tool, if i get more practice with one of them.

I like the colors of PM 3.2 and the texture from PM 4.1.

Any of the Photomatix is good for me, I think I like more the 4.1 by the texture as it says Dirk.

If you want to try HDR Efex Pro, it's from NIK Software , plug in for photoshop ... and the test version dit not generate a watermark.

Would be nice to see the original unprocessed image to give a baseline to compare from. Thanks for the effort of posting this.

Interesting. Quite often I turn the image B/W and then re saturate, before using filters.
