Creaceed releases New HDR Plug-In for Lightroom 2

Mons, Belgium - Creaceed today is pleased to announce the immediate release and availability of Hydra 2.2. The upgrade addresses a major feature request from the HDR user community: an HDR Plug-In for Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom. All Hydra's features are from now on available directly in the Lightroom workflow.

What's new in Hydra 2.2?

Hydra's HDR Plug-In supports Lightroom 2 (32-bit and 64-bit architectures). All features of Hydra's Stand-Alone Version are available in the Lightroom Plug-In.

What is Hydra?

Hydra goes beyond the physical limitations of camera sensors. From a series of regular photographs of the same scene (some overexposed and some underexposed), Hydra creates an High Dynamic Range (HDR) image which is much closer to what your eyes actually see.

  • Plug-In for Lightroom 2
  • 32-bit and 64-bit Support
