Hey guys!

I really like to use HDRI backgrounds on my scenes, primarily because I want an european city environment and Daz assets with european buildings are rare.
I was wondering if some of you had any tips on how to better integrate my scenes with a real life background, be it inside Daz itself or with postwork?

Inside Daz, I had some issues balancing the lighting provided by the HDRI with additional lighting to get proper results on the characters, while trying to keep a "realistic" lighting composition. I'm still a beginner so I guess that part will get better with experience...

Here's an example:

play with the render settings, in tone mapping: lower "burn highlights" and higher "crush blacks" values should help, maybe also lower the gamma value.
