Enfuse plugin - Lightroom

[Rexyspride]

Hi there, I know people go on about Photomatix for HDR but I think the look can be too processed. I found the Enfuse plugin for Adobe Lightroom to be far more useful and natural. I haven't yet had a chance to get out and about and take some HDR specific shots but will post some basic samples.
It works extra well when put into black & white.

Welcome to DPS.
With Photomatix you can merge different exposure without tonemapping, thus eliminating the overdone look.
Anyway, this plugin may be definitely worth a try since it's free and looks interesting (are you a developer? ).

[Rexyspride]

No I'm not a developer. I have given Photomatix a go but I just don't like look it produces (and I have tried it a lot!). Bear in mind that the free trial is limited to 500x500 px. It's donationware so it is well worth a look.

Well, I'll give it a shot once I come back home, thanks for the tip.

Here's a few more processed HDR's from the Lightroom Enfuse plugin. LR/Enfuse - Blend Multiple Exposures Together in Adobe Lightroom

Thanks! It's the blend of the other 2 in Lightroom.

Hey those are nice. I like the way it makes the textures pop out in the B&W result. Gonna have to give that a try. Thanks for the tip and for sharing.
