Taking advantage of the extended dynamic range of RAW files for HDR is pretty much a post processing domain. You might want to check out EasyHDR...

The April issue of Advanced Photographer (a UK photo mag) compared EasyHDR, Photomatix and Nik's HDR module and gave a very favorable review to EasyHDR. It works with RAW, tif and jpg files and actually does a nice job with tone mapping single images as well as combining multiple image files. And, at $39 it's less than 1/2 the cost of either of the others.

I don’t need, I probably wouldn’t understand, an explanation why. I’m just 
disappointed. I’d like to see how it works. I guess I could give it a try with 
JPEG.
