Its not about music this time Heart & Soul! But I don't know if you collect Hummel figurines so here goes anyway:

Basically, take a bracket of 3 exposures that includes an under-exposed, properly exposed, & an over-exposed shot & merge them together.
What you get is rich, vibrant colors, high-contrast, & an increase in detail that really adds *punch* to your photography.

The absolute best link is over at Cambridge in Colour:

PLUS EQUALS

Here's the software that can do it in under a minute:
