I just got back from the photoplus expo in NYC and while there saw a demo of the new nik hdr effex. I was really impressed with the localized adjustments. It looked very impressive. I use both photomatix, and HDR Photo studio from Unified Color. Unified has redone thier program and now calls it HDR Expose. It's just my opinion, but the unified program has always had incredible control of halos. I downloaded the new program and it has been improved even more. All 3 programs are great. I personally feel the unified color offering gives a more natural looking hdr than Photomatix, but then I may be just too agressive with the PM most of the time. There are times when I am going for that look and go right to that program. I would love to spend some time playing with the nik program as all of their stuff is top notch. Demo downloads are available for all 3. Sorry this is so long, I'm still worked up from the show :D
