So with a Kx, Photoshop and Lightroom in my stash, how do I go about doing HDR please?

I know the Kx can be set to take HDR shot, but what else do I need to know? Thanks.

Have a look at Photomatix - http://www.hdrsoft.com/

And try to avoid anything post-apocolyptic...please
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

With lightroom you can't do it with the latest version of photoshop you can though.

Set the K-X on bracketing and shoot for example 5 photos with 2ev spacing, of course use a tripod and if you will use photoshop shoot in DNG. With photoshop you can feed the DNG file straight into to make a HDR, with PEF you will need to convert them to PSD, TIFF or DNG so out of my head.

On how to do it, I found this a really good site.
