Forgive me for butting in. Ever since Jared started posting his HDR 
stuff, I've been looking at it and liking it, but haven't done anything 
about it. (That happens to me a lot and I'm not sure its so bad 
actually.) Anyway, when you (Roger) twittered/tweeted/twat about Hugin, 
I had a look at it myself...

Executive summary from poorly informed outsider: It *looks* like the 
suite's strength is as a pan tool that can *also* do exposure masking 
and that it uses its stitching algorithms, to help it line up shots for 
masking. Does that sound vaguely right ?

If not, I'll re-enter lurking mode and surface again when I have 
something to else to say. If, on the other hand, I'm in the right 
ballpark, here is a question:

which (not excessively expensive) tools would you (or Jared, or Dave, or 
whomever) consider for occasions when you are looking for a lot of DR 
gain (beyond the capabilities of in-camera tricks (e.g. Nikon ADL)) and 
don't need stitching (because the bracketing was done on a tripod) ?

I, on the other hand, can be fairly sure that after an hour of CLI near 
misses, I'll switch to the GUI.

Not yet, but homing in.
