Free HDR software recommendations?

Hi all,

Just got back from a weekend in Strasbourg where I attempted my first HDR shots. Now I want to process the pics and was wondering what software people use - for free?

I do have PSE 10, but am only a beginner, if anyone has any good guides to point me to.

I also shot an HDR pano in one cathedral. I use Hugin for pano processing, is the workflow the same for HDR panos?

Cheers!

PC, although maybe not for much longer going by the new Mac book pro launch

Will have a play around with SNS and see what I can achieve in PSE.

Cheers for the recommendations.

I know Linux isn't everyone's cup of tea, but Darktable (a free lightroom clone) includes HDR functions. It's easily installable under Ubuntu.

Not bad since I literally did no adjustments, aside from a slight rotation. Will try other solutions and PSE at the weekend. Also want to see how it handles HDR panos

Cheers.
