[HDR-photo] Photomatix / HDR / Tonemapping Plugin For Lightroom

[Dave Feltenberger]

Geraldine or others -

I was wondering if anyone has given much thought to an HDR plugin for
Adobe Lightroom.  Lightroom allows for such an incredibly streamlined
workflow in comparison to the Photoshop/Bridge workflow (if you don't
need to constantly jump into Photoshop anyway), and I know usage among
photographers is skyrocketing.  The first thing I do after shooting is
to "stack" all my bracketed, to-be-HDR'd images in Lightroom (along
with tagging/rating/etc.).  After stacking I export anything I want to
process in Photomatix to TIFF, then generate the HDR, tonemap, save as
TIFF, re-import into Lightroom, retag, add to stack, etc.  I'm sure
I'm not the only one who is experiencing this stilted workflow.

There must be a relatively large market for a streamlined
HDR/Tonemapping process.  Do any of you know of anything, or if there
are plans to add it to e.g. Lightroom?

Thanks.
