HDR image results

[samuelAB]

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a baked HDR image?

I do not mean an image that uses HDR lights, but an image with a very high highlight compression. Even when I put my Highling Compression at 999, the surfaces lit by the sun are pure white and I cannot see the texture underneath.

I was thinking of making two or three renders of each lightmaps at different exposures and making an HDR image from them in Photoshop, but that is very cumbersome. Did I miss a setting that would allow to render an HDR image?

I've attached two images showing an overblown area at different exposures.

You should be able to save your RTT render directly to exr or hdr format and then do tonemapping in photoshop or any other program capable of doing that. No need for dirty tricks with multi exposure blending, leave that to poor photographers :]
