Nope. I just cut and pasted, feathered and flattened. Of course, on my landscape I was fixing the blown out sky, which was an easy paste. Still, you could just paste in the parts with the blown out details.

I have been using a dedicated application HDRShop to perform this function and it requires absolute registration or else it turns into a nightmare. The slightest movement in branches on a windy day causes coloured spuriae to be rendered in the difference areas, not nice. I hadn't considered Photoshop as the stand alone application used some pretty heavy manipulation which is well beyond layer additions and simple masking. Do you know of any on-line tutorials etc?
