Using the plugin

Once you've installed the HDR Batch plugin, follow these steps to access and use it:

1. Start or restart Lightroom
2. Group the bracketed photos you want to batch into Stacks, then select the Stacks

   Note: If your bracketed sets all have the same number of exposures, it isn't necessary to group the brackets into Stacks. Instead just select all of the photos (then on the plugin's window, you'll choose the 2nd option in the Input section).

3. Right-click on the selected photos, then choose Export > Photomatix > HDR Batch

   (Alternatively, choose File > Plug-in Extras > Photomatix Batch > Batch with Photomatix HDR)
