CreateHDR: Online site to Create High Dynamic Range images

HDR (High Dynamic Range) images try to highlight every spot in a photo and make it stand out. Usually to create a HDR image you need Photoshop or a similar desktop application. CreateHDR.com allows you to upload images from your desktop or Flickr account and create a HDR image from one photo. Typically HDR images are created from multiple images with different exposure settings. Currently the site only allows for the JPEG file format to be uploaded. There is a pro version under construction on the site that will allow for multiple exposure uploads and different file formats.
Not every photo that is uploaded looks good after it has gone through the process. There is only so much manipulation you can do to a single upload to make it look like a HDR photo. Take a look at their public gallery and judge for yourself. I am looking forward to seeing the Pro Version. I would bookmark this site to watch for further development.
