Nik Software has announced HDR Efex Pro
Nik Software has announced HDR Efex Pro, an HDR processing plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom !
High dynamic range photography is a process in which multiple exposures are captured, aligned and merged to generate a single image that enables a much wider range of colors, highlights, and shadows.
I’m a big fan of the Nik products and looking forward to play with the definitive version.
HDR Efex Pro will be available from October 2010 for 159,95€
You can find more information about the plug-in here
