This just happened to me - Photoshop would hang on booting. Right after displaying "Reading Text Global Resources...Done", photoshop just freezes. If you click away from the window and back, the dialog gets erased to be all white. No CPU is being used and nothing will get it to load.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography takes the images of multiple diferent exposures, and then recombines them into one image which displays much more detail in both the bright and drark portions of the image.
