I wrote a how-to on the steps I take when I do HDR processing a while ago. If it's ok, I'll just paste it in here. The photo I used as an example is this one.

The following may not be new to a lot of you, but I think it serves as a good reminder that a HDR photo is not necessarily 'done' right out of Photomatix. I spend a lot more time editing the results from Photomatix than I do during the actual tonemap.

Great processing on that image. I follow a pretty similar work flow for HDR-ish shots. I usually HDR and tonemap one image and layer it with a few extra adjusted RAW exposures to fix any blown or dropped parts and erase out most of the HDR< leaving the parts that I think add to the shot.

Also, could someone do a write up on the chromatic aberration correction sliders and the edging?

Yeah I would like to know a good anti-CA technique as well. My method of sponge tool and strained wrist is not sufficient.

^ Thanks. Without sounding too lazy, what are the big advantages of using Lightroom over Bridge->PS ?
