Here is that “fake HDR” link that was down for the longest time.  This link has a plugin you can purchase as well, but first it offers the entire step-by-step process.

Here is someone’s attempt at the first link.  Make sure to click the images so you can see the higher resolution ones — the smaller ones are horrible.

Here is a custom script for The GIMP that fakes HDR.  The script was based off of this article. 
I must say some of the images from the article are horrid so I’d
recommend some hue and saturation reduction if your images appear too
red (or magenta).

…contain further information and a custom plugin to handle everything for you.

Here is another one of those “register to see this content” crap: http://www.deke.com/content/the-fake-hdr-portrait-technique-revealed
