[HDR-photo] New to the list

[Bob Wise]

Thanks for the kind words!

I find I'm rarely happy desaturating. I used to fiddle with the color  
curves (RGB)  quite a bit to get something I liked, but I discovered
a PS plugin called "BW Conversion Pro". It also has nice sepia options.

Generally I'm running Photomatix HDR in batch mode, loading the HDR  
image into Photoshop and running the
Tone Mapping plugin, then using BW Conversion Pro, finishing up with  
sharpening (sometimes).

Here's one I did with the above workflow including sepia:
