I am not sure if photoshop offers the features necessary for that but my 
point is you will want to be able to *change* the tone mapping after the 
render even if you already set some mapping function before the render. 
  Having a tone mapping feature in the render display would certainly be 
nice, especially with a separate post processing program being able to 
apply the same adjustments to the render output (this could be a simple 
filter like the netpbm tools).  But being only able to do the tone 
mapping during the render or not at all would be the wrong way i think.
