Elaborate?

You captured two images and blended them, or took one RAW file and ran it through the converter twice (adjusting for different exposures) and then blended those files, or ... ?

They have an HDR thread in HT you should check it out.

Ah, I had the basic idea! i have Photoshop Elements and a camera that shoots RAW so I'll try that. I just read an article in Photography magazine that showed how ...

NAiL05: if I ever learn the secret handshake that tells me how to search over there I'll give it a whirl. I don't know what the deal is but that site is horrifically busy and convoluted. What freaks me out is they have multiple subforums that could all be general "tech" forums (if you ask me) and well, searching owns me. Over there I can't find a thread I posted to, or even started the day after I do it. Blah.

Heres the link didnt even take me that long to find it =D. Some are not HDR in there but you see people trying.

Well ... thanks. I did try ... I searched for "HDR" and got nothing. Then I selected a forum but had to cheat since the link you provided said it was in Appearance. So I tried that. I got nothing until I searched in archived threads and found some older stuff. Never did turn up the link you found.

It's like I said, there's something different about that site; I just haven't cracked it. Too many levers to pull, buttons to push, to get anywhere for me.

Yea sometimes that site is *** sometimes it works so yea it depends.

Think I like that one better; has a sort of slice-of-life feel to it. And it doesn't have the odd halo effect that the first one has.

There's always ImageShack. That's the only other alternative I can think of... maybe Yahoo! Briefcase?

Oh, there are lots. I have a smugmug account. Load up as many big-ass images as you want. There's a free account (don't remember the restrictions) and paid. I have the $50/yr deal that comes with goodies.

With smugmug you can just upload your originals and they automatically make 3 sizes for you, with links you can copy for forum or whatever posting. However, if all your pics are for internet posting it still makes sense to downsize them first prior to uploading. I don't really know what their bandwidth limitations are.
