  I rarely/never use a HDR mode because of that look JoJu!

 

    To me I like to add a little clarity to just minor adjustments in RAW, then deal with the highlights and the shadows with the adjustment brush, without changing the overall appearance of the image........

 

   .....which to me is the idea.....to make a normally light scene with only the shadows and highlights touched.....

 

  Thinking 14-15 stops of DR produces flat uncontrasty images is false!
