annie... I had a look and it's bound to be a copy but of what I've no idea. I'm not saying it's no good but I would feel uncomfortable about buying it for some reason.

Like John I note the name of the software is never given, so I too wonder whether it is pirated. Maybe somebody will recognise it?

It looks like the one that I bought off ebay last year or the year before.
Same pictures used anyway as on the sellers listing that I used.

It's not bad for the money if it's the same one, but I've only used it a couple of times.

I think I paid £9.99 but could have had it cheaper had I bought it electronically, but I had the disc instead.

I think there was only one HDR program listed before.
I've just tried to find it so that I could check the title but it's not in the usual place. If I come across it I will post details but it could be anywhere knowing me.

Nooooooooooooooo!

i do listen to all your advice as you know..

The way that I look at it is that you could probably get a free download which would do just as well.

Try www.download.com to see if they have anything suitable.

Blackrox and I both used Oloneo Beta  photo engine which was really good, even though some of the tasks were greyed out on the test one.
Barbara bought the full version and it does a lot more, but it was a very good program even before the full version came out, which I gather does a lot more than the beta version.

Have a look at this tutorial I posted earlier. Install YouTube Downloader HD and download the video, you can then view it at your leisure.

There is a reference on the ebay page to 'mediachance' and their HDR software looks to be about $59 for the high end and $39 for the 'quick' version.

 

This being sold for £7.99 sounds  a bit iffy to me

I would avoid it like the plague.
