I'm just trying to get my toes wet with some hdr stuff. I've read a couple tutorials on the process, gave it a shot in cs4...which did not turn out well at all, but I have some questions. Rather then taking multiple shots and having to risk them being unaligned (ps tends to freeze when auto-aligning during the hdr merge), why not just take one image (in raw?) bracket the exposure a couple times, then flatten those images? Feel free to throw in any other advise, or move this if this is the wrong forum.
