I've just discovered HDR !!

Looked but cannot find a definitive answer, what would be a recommended
range for bracketing, either auto, or manual, to achieve the best
results.

Both my digital cameras will only auto bracket maximum 1 stop, is a
greater difference recommended. If so, what ?

Also, 3 or 5 or more photo's, is there really a difference ?

You valuable experience is welcomed.

I've been playing with PhotoMatix HDR software, I have Photoshop 7 on my
iMac, not CS2/3, not really understanding layers, is it possible to at
least simulate HDR using layers ?

If your camera has a spot meter mode, meter the brightest surfaces in
the shot, then meter the deep shadow or darkest areas. Take two
exposures, manual exposures, using these two values.- Hide quoted text -

Did you look at the following?

I thought I read somewhere suggesting normal and +2EV and -2EV. Mine
also only goes to +1EV and -1EV.
I still do not understand fully, but what happen if you just take one
shot and try to get underexposed and over exposed of the same image
using software? Something like using Gamma correction in PSP. Will
that also work?
