Thanks. I think I have the hang of it now
Had a play today with processing the pics to HDR.
My car was the guinea pig and done as a CR2 (raw) file x 3. Used DPP to batch process it, then used photomatix to open files.
Seemed it was too hard for photomatix to open it directly. Hence the Purple-ness.
I do now have Adobe Photoshop. Just started to play with it just now, wow. Should have had this ages ago.
I just tried a few mods (in PS) with a star trail (first night I had the camera).
Original problem (using Photomatix to pick up the RAW CR2 file):

Car HDR (RAW batch processed in DPP then photomatix):

Oh this PS is so much better than my other software combined.
