It is? I'm positive I've seen processing details for basic entries that include single RAW files processed in Photomatix.
That would be problematic, since I self-DQ'ed a couple of challenges ago. :-(
edit: I'm not seeing anything in the Basic rules that would indicate Photomatix is prohibited. ??

Yep, it is. The RAW file was converted to DNG, and the DNG was tone-mapped in Photomatix. The "curves" adjustment in Photoshop brought out the sky. Of course, that left the foreground painfully over-staurated. :-(
