combining multiple images CS3?

I found the answer to this. It is the HDR processing I was looking for. I found the CS3 HDR processing somewhat confusing to use. I don't think my results turned out very good.
I previously tried the trial version of PhotoMatrix and I found it to be much more user friendly. I am wondering if it is worth buying, or if with time I will feel more comfortable with what CS3 offers.
Does anyone have opinions about this?

Opinions - yup
Photoshop's HDR is pants
CS2 couldn't cope with ghosting (movement between frames) and had nasty tone-mapping that was so picky it was untrue. Although I tried Photomatix I went with Artizen which had far more control over the tonemapping process.
You can, for what it's worth, use Artizen to produce an open HDR file (making use of the excellent image combining algorithms) and tone map in Photoshop. (It seems to do this even when your trial period has expired!)
Photomatix is, perhaps, easier to use. But the flexibility of Artizen is much, much better IMHO.

And...it is much less expensive too! I think I will try the trial version and see what I think.
