I have been using a dedicated application HDRShop to perform this function and 
it requires absolute registration or else it turns into a nightmare. The 
slightest movement in branches on a windy day causes coloured spuriae to be 
rendered in the difference areas, not nice. I hadn't considered Photoshop as 
the stand alone application used some pretty heavy manipulation which is well 
beyond layer additions and simple masking. Do you know of any on-line tutorials 
etc?
