However, Lightroom isn’t very good at tonemapping and the HDR ‘look’. That’s why tools like HDR Efex Pro, part of the Google Nik Collection (now free to download, remember) are so valuable, because you can launch them straight from Lightroom. So good, in fact, that often you can get all the tonal range you need for a great-looking HDR image from a single exposure. The thing is, though, that Lightroom is very good at extracting the maximum dynamic range from raw files. Lightroom will blend these into a single composite high dynamic range DNG file, but you’re still left with the same editing tools. This also applies both to single raw files and when you’re using the HDR Merge feature and a series of separate exposures. How to get Lightroom/Adobe Photography Plans.The Lightroom HDR tools built in are good in their way, but will only get you so far.
