Adobe wants your help to improve HDR imaging
Adobe is asking for your help to improve the way Photoshop handles HDR (high dynamic range) imaging. If you're a photographer, you can help out by sending Adobe sample images (JPEG and raw) on which you've found that other 32bit to 16 or 8 bit converters do a better job than Photoshop. Adobe engineer John Peterson explains what he needs at Adobe blogs:
I'm looking for cases where the "other leading brand" is doing a better job than Photoshop. I'd like to get three or four really good cases of this from customers that are (potential) heavy users of Merge to HDR. I'd be interested in JPEG or raw source files, plus the HDR result file from the other application. JPEGs should be generated by the camera, not via Camera Raw. f-stop should be held constant, exposure should differ by two stops or so, and resolutions in the 2-6 MP range would be sufficient.

Some examples of HDR imaging can be found here if you are unsure as to what this is.
And a tutorial on how to create a HDR image can be found here
Thanks to Starskreem for advising on this.
