I love where your posts are going. Always a good job and well written.
Note: This Comment belongs to the next post, as does my reply. It addresses local adjustments in Lightroom 2.
Can you increase or decrease exposure locally, such as decrease exposure in a sky but leave the foreground alone? In other words, can you do HDR from a single photo? Now that would be really interesting!

Jack – the tutorial I watched specifically does this and uses the auto masking feature to assist you in ‘painting in’ the color/darkness of the area you want affected.
You have to hose your mouse around to get the effect but as long as you do not cross the boundary, the auto masking will detect the edge of the boundary and restrict changes to that boundary. It’s not a ‘one click’ thing but semi-automatic, and easy to do. LR2 also allows creation of three brushes – two to add and one to erase. These brushes have a user adjustable blur boundary so you can determine how hard edged the brush will be.
