>From what I understand from the pics you have posted (and thank you for not sending them out to everyone on this mailing list but providing a link for downloading), I think your main problem is exposure or dynamic range of a picture. Your leftmost image features a very bright window making up an estimated 40 percent of the image and the interior wall making up the rest. You camera will try to level out these two extremes so that the average will be 19% grey, resulting in the window to be way overblown and the wall to light, too, if compared with the middle shot that has now window. Remember that your eyes can cover a dynamic range of up to 18 steps but your digital camera can not. I'd recommend the following: o Learn how to shoot the left shot so it looks natural. You will have to use a technique known as bracketing. This means shooting manually and doing -6, -4, -2, 0, +2, +4, +6 exposed images of the window. Then, you will have to combine the shoots using either hugin or enfuse or some other hdr tool to get an image with reduced dynamic range. If the -6 to +6 range does not lead to satisfactory results, feel free to extend the range or widen the steps between exposures. o Another issue may be the light color differences between the outside (sunlight) and the inside (tungsten?) of the room. You may have to prepare for these differences when preparing the images for enfuse or your HDR tool of choice. In the past, I have been known for using two versions of the same image, one developed for the outside color and masked to only include these areas and a copy thereof developed for the inside lighting, excluding the rest of the image. In such cases, Hugins masks feature comes handy! o Always shoot in RAW mode if your camera supports it. This allows you to take advantage of the full dynamic range your camera supports and selectively apply colour profiles depending of the location of the best exposed part of the image you are handling.
