Topaz labs are due to launch a new product soon, called Detail, basically a local contrast enhancer, it will give a halo free HDR type effect (it's claimed)
I have been trying the Beta version, and while it seems to work fine it is slow loading (but I was using a large hi-res image) and I find if pushed I do get mild halos, that said I haven't had long to play with it and I'm still learning it's abilities. In use it's very simple just 6 sliders and a number of presets (and you can save your own when you get settings you like). It seem to me to have a lot of possibilites, and it looks like theres room for a lot of different effects with practice. Here a very boring image of logs has been given an almost illustrated look.
