HDR generation is the process of combining various exposures together to create a 32bit HDR image. The image will have a higher contrast ratio to that of your monitor and of paper so you then need to tone map it. Tone mapping is the process of compressing the data down from 32bit to 8 or 16bit so it can be edited, displayed and printed.
