Improve HDR results - especially Highlights

As simple as this. Highlights in HDR pictures are faded, bleached. Please improve.

Current workaround

Cope with it (hurting)

    I am requesting that this issue be properly fixed and addressed by your development team. A core feature such as HDR merging should not produce unusable files, and leaving it unresolved severely limits the product’s reliability for professional use.

    At the very least, I ask for a clear commitment and timeline from your team to resolve the HDR pixelation problem. In addition, perhaps even a rebate should be considered, since the flaw directly affects output quality.

    I look forward to your developers’ response and to seeing a serious commitment to correcting this issue moving forward.

    Best regards

    Definitely, current HDR tool needs revamp... But I don't think CO intend to invest further. My guess that both Pano and HDR tools were developed just to satisfy Landscape, Cityscape and architecture photographers..
