The original picture was skewed in Pixelmator 1.5.1 for correcting minor distortion, then was processed using the Tone Mapping function of Photomatix Pro 4.0 in various enhancement effects including Deep, Smooth, Painterly, Grunge, and Black & White.
This was an experiment of using HDR software to enhance a single image, rather than multiple images in different exposures. Thanks to the new design of Preset Thumbnail Panel and Preview Window of Photomatix Pro 4, users may visually see the Tone Mapping results and adjust the effect instantly. That's a great user experience. The same work with the previous versions were painful, and that's why I chose to buy this version 4.
Image skewed, and enhanced in Deep and Smooth effect.

Based on the last B&W image above, the following image was processed in Picasa 3.6.7 in turn to represent some of my personal feelings on that winter in Regina. Finally all images were published from Picasa as well.
