I have been using Photomatix to do so. But i don’t find the the results of this tool to be very much effective. Photomatix wont give me good results for images shot @ night or ones with low exposure.

Is there any other tool you would suggest which can help & generate a single shot HDR (like a portrait) as well as a mult shot raw image HDR?

Thanks for your answers!

Do you have to jailbreak an iPod touch 4G to enable HDR? If so, is there any alternative?

I recently obtained a Canon AE-1 camera. I have been interested in HDR imaging, and would like to try it out. I understand that HDR imaging requires editing in a photo editing program (I use GIMP), but I need help taking stock images. All of the tutorials I’ve come across are for digital cameras, so I need help with what settings (shutter speed, aperture, etc.) to use with this camera. Thanks for your help ahead of time.

I have a point and shoot camera and was wondering if i could take HDR photos on it. If its possible, how do i take an underexposed and an overexposed picture on a digital camera?

Im working on an HDR portfolio but wanted to know what the situation is with different format’s and the role they play.

I have read that you can create a full HDR image with just a single RAW format image and i also use Photomatix to create my images and different formats provide different blending options such as a RAW image compared to a TIFF image.

Can someone just break it all down for me thanks.

In reply to Mark Neal. I think iPhone's HDR logic is geared more toward improving detail in highlights, rather than in shadows. This probably makes sense for portrait photography, where eliminating blowouts is a higher priority. Indeed, in a portrait, not seeing reflections on my sweaty face is more important than be able to tell that my black shirt has dark gray pinstripes. And as far as eliminating glare on the yellow pear, iPhone built-in HDR probably did better job than anything else in this review.

Hi Igor.
Nice review. I agree with your conclusion. I’ve also just done a review of the iPhone HDR (12/14/11)and found that it has limited range when compared to other technology. But your reference to the Canon G10 non-HDR shot image as the best photo overall seems odd. Though the background and foreground tones are very well balanced, the blowout on the fruit and glass bowl is pretty extreme. Just sayin’ :)
