Well, I'm sure the image Dudio linked to IS tone mapped. It's a key component to High Dynamic Range pictures. CS3 does it and programs like PhotoMatrix do it.
Basically you bracket your exposures in a particular shot, typically 3 to 5 exposures from one to two stops under to the same over. This way you get detail in the shadows and detail in the highlights, then you run them through a HDR program like PhotoMatrix which tone maps them and produces the HDR image.
