If you use the shad-highlights adjustment with photoshop, by playing around with the sliders to recover shadows and highlights, you can very well simulate the HDR tone-mapping effects.I find it much easier to use Photomatix. It has many different settings that I can play with and gives quick previews to choose from. But even after that, it's really rare that I don't have some kind of adjustment to do in Photoshop to either dodge and burn or give it a little sharpness boost.</blockquote>
