Have you tried Photomatix Basic? It does HDR, although in a limited fashion. but, it's free!

And I think the watermark removal only works from a paid, licensed version. Meant for folks to be able to remove watermark from photos processed before the license was purchased.

OK i made my images smaller and put them through photomatrix and yes, it didn't give me a watermark. BUT. the final image is no where NEAR the quality of my first image. is that just because of the size change? im upset by the major difference here

Just guessing here. When you went through Photomatix with your first images, were they RAW?

And when you resized them to put them through, what format did you save the resized images? jpg? - You need to ensure you save as 16-bit TIF to retain the full tonal range of the originals.

I once reported someone who cloned out all the Photomatrix watermarks on their entry, but SC said it wasn't an issue.
