Best Mac OS HDR Software?

Also noticed a tone mapping plugin for PS CS5 by Photomatix ... will try that too.

I don't have a MAC, however I have heard good things about NIK HDR Efex Pro

Downloading NIK HDR Efex demo right now.

Tried the Photomatix plugin for PS and I'm unimpressed.

No wait ... it was PS HDR Pro option direct from LR that I tried.

The Photomatix plugin for PS works well but seems to be only for single photos ... not a bracketed set. In this way it works a bit like Topaz Adjust.

Scratch that ... worked it out ... you just set the bracketed photos up as layers first then apply the filter/plugin.

Very impressed with the NIK HDR Efex software ... high quality and professional interface with loads of options.

Anyone know how to import RAW files in though? I keep having to convert to jpg to get them in there.

I do agree with asnow..... I had also heard some good things about the software......
