its originally for PS so i would understand if LR cannot handle something like this but i've gotten really used to do most (95%) of things i do in LR and it would b great to add this too

i am especially interested in getting a HDR effect

LR doesn't accept plugins in the same way PS does. You can add it to PS and then round-trip from LR to PS to LR to use this.

thanks for that, figured that would be the way to go.

will LR be able to handle plugins like that in the future or is its 'engine' not powerful enough?

Unknown. I would expect so, eventually. Timeframe unknown.

It is not a matter of power, it is a matter of very different app architecture. And what SDK has been released and whether that is compatible with what the third party plugin provider can do.

I thought Photoshop WAS the plugin for Lightroom...... :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: :shock:

Close, now if we can just get PS to return its adjustments to Lr in non-destructive XMP parametric image editing data, then the problem is solved.

And that's the key right there! LR's philosophy is non-destructive editing. Unless a plugin can do that it will probably never find a home in LR.
