I think I downloaded a trial version of Photomatix a while back, but don't remember anything of using it. From my few tests with PSP, it seems to do an OK job. Tone mapping is something I have yet to look into; I'm always a few years behind the times!
In terms of image processing generally, there was a principle in colour printing that you knew when the colour correction was right, after you'd gone too far, and I find it useful to apply that principle to my digital manipulations. Mind you, sometimes 'going much too far' can produce a result that you wouldn't have intended or anticipated, but which can be interesting or useful.
