Hi Bart

A very informative and, in my opinion, valid post. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.

I suspect I currently fall into the category of user that is attempting to use it subtly (in most cases) but still has an awful lot to learn in order to get the most from his tools (Luminance HDR, with blending of tonemaps done in Gimp). But I'm starting to see some progress.

By the way, I also used your tilt shift tut on a couple of images. Many thanks!
