I have not done any HDR stuff.. have read some abt it.. it seems its same as overlaying two pics with different exposures..
so u ned to take a pic and change the levels in both ways and overlay..
hope that works out.
i havnt tried.

dont need cracked softwares.. i think GIMP can do the overlay and Levels 🙂
