As the title says!  I'm interested in diving into HDR photography and combining photos with different exposures.  It's my understanding LR4 doesnt natively offer this.  Whats the best free plugin for me to use that's easy to learn.

TY!

    www.hdrsoft.com  makes PhotoMatix which has a lightroom plugin but its not really all that great if you want to do a bunch of hdr. Most HDR programs have presets but also allow for fine tuning.  I would just use a standalone program. Easyhdr.com is less expensive but works about the same. Both have demos to try before you buy.

    In lightroom, they put in some develop presets to get the HDR "look" :

    I like this one: http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrenfuse.php.  It's not quite free, but it's donationware, and you set the price.
