Hmmm… I seem to be missing something. In step 3, I can see Select->Modify and Select->Feather but no Select->Modify->Feather . So I tried Select->Feather, gave a Feather Radius 150-250px; this changes the selection. But what should I do with the selected portion?

Not a bad way to get started, but you are actually introducing a lot of halos (see for instance in the sky around the dome). What you are doing is fairly similar to how tonemapping software works behind the scenes, except that they have a lot more tweaking possibilities. While I agree that the default photomatix look is crap, by using well chosen parameters *and* further processing in photoshop, it is possible to obtain a result better than both of your images.

This is really FANTASTIC! I have photomatix but I’m very pleased with these results! Can’t wait to try this out with my own pictures!
