The last issue of c't photography mentiones about an HDR technique which includes converting the raw images to 32bit, then apply tone mapping (tonal compression) and then convert back to 16bit. I think the clever algorithms of tone mapping (and 16 bit conversion) should be doing a good job with that regard.
I believe localized shadow/highlight protection techniques look somehow more realistic than HDR... At least compared to the HDR technique I applied so far <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

That's essentially what I tend to do - protect highlights and shadows <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

kind regards, Wim
