Thank you Axel.
I have tried this but from WebHDR, I do not seem to be able to save my picture 
as RGBE file (.hdr). There is only an option to save it as either *.jpg or 
*bmp. I clicked on all I could see that resembles what you describe but the 
only thing it returns is a text file?
Please give me some tips if you have...
Thank you.

Marie-Claude,

the JPG images that WebHDR generates are in a special HDR format that
Greg developed.  They are essentially 'normal' JPEGs, but with a clever
HDR header bolted to them.  With almost all image editing software, the
HDR info is lost or ignored.

You should use the RGBE file (.hdr) the WebHDR also generates.

There is a Windows HDR viewer called HDRView that was developed by Paul
Debevec.  It is no longer available on his web site, but you can still
find it through a Google search.  HDRView displays the pixel's RGB under
the cursor in the status line.  I am not sure if this takes into account
the exposure value, but do give it a try.  If nothing else, it's a small
and very fast HDR viewer for Windows.

If you know the pixel coordinates for which you need the luminance, you
could also extract it with pvalue, although this generates rather large
text files.  Unfortunately, you don't get the UNIX text processing
commands on Windows, but some are available as extra downloads.  The
'grep' command is pretty handy for filtering out exactly what you need.

Best

Axel
