Thank you for the link Hervé. Nice tool. The images of the web pages are to much compressed for my taste, but I have install the tool and test it - the tonemapping strength can be adjusted per simple slider. :)

Hmm, I have some problems with the tool here. For example: set intensity at 0% and move white point slider - the image looks darker but I can not move the slider so, that the previous shown bright image come back, only if I move the intensity slider a little. The preview has an "update preview" problem. :?

... today I have find a free tool to create HDRIs and to manipulate the tonemapping. The tool is in german, but the tonemapping tool "PP" looks good.

Hervé, most of the results on their web seem weird to my eyes. They simply kill the contrast we naturally get used to. I didn't like that histogram trick, it's exactly like Shadow/Highight feature of PS. Sometimes good but mostly end up with unrealistic contrast depth.

yes you're right... but it was more to help people with OSX macs...

Micha, I'll give a try to Picturenaut.. the tone mapping looks good...

Tom, what do you think of the link Micha pointed..
