Now Although the Dramatic Tone Mapping operator can obviously produce dramatic results it can also be toned down to produce very natural results.

How Dramatic do you like your results. This is an example to show that your results can really vary depending on your settings. In this example all that was done, was the reduction of the Strength option.

Do you intend to make it work with 64 bit versions of Windows?

It appears to work with XP64 but Vista 64bit still has several issues which we aren't sure what the cause is. Version 2.6 hasn't been tested so any feedback would really be helpful.

Thanks for the quick reply - Got it running in Vista64 now. There are a few interface related glitches at the moment but nothing too drastic.

I'll try and play with it a bit more in the coming days.
