you...

Glenn, this is probably the best example of indoor HDR that I've seen yet. How have you tweaked your technique to arrive at this? In thumbnail format I would not have assumed this to be an HDR image, although upon opening it up larger I would have realized it. The best way I can describe the effect is to say that the overall lighting appears somehow "thin". Does that make sense? It is not an issue of density or saturation, just tonality I guess. My only uneducated approach toward remedying that is to add tonal layers, but so far I have not yet acheived a good enough effect with that approach. What worked for you here?

Patrick, you probably already saw but I posted the technique under "White Fire Tools." It involves going back into the universally lit image and recreating the lighting with gradient layers. It is not a perfect recreation of the lights in the least, but it does have the effect of directing the viewer's eye with the shadow toward the light... kind of like vignetting.

I have never experimented HDR but I can say that there is too much light sources in this photo which made overexposed spots. I am sure that the window only will have been sufficient to light the room. If it is your home, I recommend you to take another photo without any lamps.
