Photomatix and post processed in Photoshop CS6.

Have you tried Luminance? (Not a critic, or that you would need it ;) ) It's free. The Mantiuk 06 Algorithm is often softer than Photomatix, which I have too.

I use both, but more Luminance now. Otherwise I am stuck with PS 6. Not CS 6. Hammer and Chisel stuff. :D

Nope I haven't. Is Luminance like Photomatix?

Yeah. Gives you variety. Although besides Mantiuk 06, I haven't really used the others. After my initial HDR madness, I try to get images softer these days. PunkDiva does too. Especially Halos in the Sky are now my sworn enemy. :)
