processed--I'm curious to know which people like better, this or the unprocessed version.
An experiment with split toning in Adobe Lightroom, creating a cross-processed look very easily and intuitively.
I didn't shoot this, just did the post processing. For the HDR group and the HDR Showcase thread setup by SSAP_OK,

I did this at work, so I downloaded the trial version of Photomatix 3.0 Beta, which left watermarks on the image.
As for processing in photomatix I used all 3 RAW files, and tonemapped.
Tonemap Settings:
Strength: 94
Sat: 60
Light Smoothing: Med-High
Luminocity: +5
White Point: 1.055
Black Point: 0.002
Gamma: 1.41
Micro Contrast: +8
Micro Smoothing: +0
When I processed I got this:

Photomatix tends to make the image flatter once you process it than how it looks in preview mode. So I took the file into photoshop 7 to do more tweaking.
In photoshop I straightened the file, and cloned out the photomatix watermarks as best as I could. I then made 3 layers, the top layer was made B&W and raised the luminance pretty high. I set the blend mode for this as multiply, which brought out the clouds even more. I then applied a levels and color pass to the 2nd layer down. I then did another levels and color pass for the third layer down focusing on the tower and how I wanted it to look. I merged the top 2 layers, then with a very soft eraser got rid of the tower in the new top layer to show through to my bottom layer which was color corrected just for the tower. I then added a vignette and output the file. Here's what I got.
This is the thread with the files if you want to play with them...

These are preview images for the talk I am giving at UCLA tomorrow.
Made with Processing and runs in near realtime (anywhere from 5 to 30 fps). The entire system is dynamic, and with a zippy computer, could probably be audio responsive with little extra overhead.
