If you have Lightroom that also has built-in HDR support.

exe to the desktop and go from there (although IIRC it just saves the result in a "standard" location rather than offering a choice). Note the Nik tool is a Plugin but you can just (on Windows) drag a link to the HDR Efex 2. Another free option used to be HDR Efex 2 which is part of the Nik Tools which were Google and are now DXO, and were available as a free download when they were Google, so might still be around. (Registering if you haven't done it for a Franzis tool before is also an adventure, but the tools are good IMHO.) I like their HDR tool (which you can easily use by taking three bracketed exposures, the correct one and typically ones at plus and minus two stops, allowing you to overcome the limited range of brightnesses cameras support in a single image) and think it is well worth installing. I really like the Franzis Projects tools and some are quite excellent (their B+W converter is the best I know and Sharpen Projects is again excellent once you get away from its default attempt), so I always try to see if I can help people get over the initial learning curve.

I wrote this for a previous HDR Projects 4 Pro Giveaway, so I'll just copy it here with a few (err, a bunch, I'm gonna miss my Train) of updates in case it is of use to anyone.
