What's great about it: Ease of use
What's not so great: "FOR ACADEMIC USE ONLY" version, slight alignment and ghost removal issue
I have had very good luck with Nik software in the past and this is no exception. Ability to tone single images as well as bracketed shots. Control over all aspects of the image. Pre loaded presets get you started in the right direction and the ability to take control of and adjust the elements yourself. You can also create your own presets. Keep in mind that this is not a stand alone program. You'll need either Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture to use it.
You can download a free, fully-functional 15 day copy of Nik HDR Efex Pro from Nik Software and try it for yourself. You'll be impressed, I was.
A WORD OF WARNING: Although the Best Buy web page doesn't say so this is "FOR ACADEMIC USE ONLY" version. Which was very disappointing when I open the box.
I would recommend this to a friend!
