Anyone with single-shot HDR experience?

[Buschmaster]

I've tried a couple tutorials and there are a couple more but maybe someone has some advice as to the best way in their experience to get an HDR style image out of a single shot.

I have Photoshop and have some RAW files that I can work with, but also would like to apply this to many jpegs. The first tutorial I was following was going fine, but then it got very vague and I couldn't follow it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Open the RAW in ACR, make your adjustments for exposing for the shadows, then save it instead of opening it (renaming it of course). Do the same for the highlights & go to town with your adjusted RAWs. As far as JPEGs, I'm pretty sure you need a program like Photomatrix, but obviously you don't have the exposure latitude as with RAW files. Hope it helps.
