Can LR2 do HDR?

Anybody do any HDR with Lightroom 2 (2.6) I'm trying out LR2 free trial and am just curious.

Thanks

No.

You can do a pseudo-hdr with it. But a true 3 or more exposure hdr, no. Even though you can do a pseudo-hdr, you don't get the best results out of it in my opinion. You're still better off using Photomatix. Here's a pseudo-hdr I did with Lightroom.

Lightroom can send images to PS for HDR assembly (Photo > Edit In... > Merge to HDR in Photoshop). Also, if you don't need the HDR data, but just the exposure blended image, LR/Enfuse is a plug-in for Lightroom that uses the Enfuse exposure blending algorithm form directly within LR.

I wasn't aware of the LR/Enfuse plug-in but now that you brought that up Photomatix also has a Lightroom plug-in that allows you to take exposures into Photomatix from Lightroom and then it saves and imports the result directly back into Lightroom.

amazing post processing Doug...

Thats pretty cool!

Thanks for the reply

I use LR/Enfuse. It works good.
