Just had an interesting phone call from Nik Software in Germany regarding the New HDR Software.
Fingers crossed, it will be available from 7PM (GMT) tonight

Looks nice.
Suppose the important question is how much £££ will it cost.........

Not getting very good reviews at the minute.Lots of people preferring the output from Photomatix.
Have a go with the trial before dropping the money is the advice.
Cheers

I've just had an initial play with the trial and my first impression is good. The interface is intuitive and fine tuning in real time is simplicity itself. I've not compared the output to Photomatix (never got a single result I liked out of that!) but some of the subtler results I've got are real enhancements to my test images... not too obviously HDR'd either! I think that used sparingly and subtly (such as using a u-point to give a lift to a dull sky but leaving the rest of the image untouched) this could be a real world useful product.
Just a first impression... need to play a bit more.

Why are only SOME of the Nik tools x64bit and not all of them?
I am running photoshop at 32 bit at the mo because of that. Be nice to change back to 64bit
They're rolling the 64 bit versions out one by one, Janice. Latest on line is Silver eFex and Color eFex (just last week I think). The others should follow shortly... hopefully! I'm the same as you, been working in 32 bit but with Color eFex now upgraded I've switched to 64 bit for day to day and switch back to 32 when I want to use Dfine or Sharpener.
but can it be done??

Try File -> Automate -> Merge to HDR Efex Pro

Not only are they now putting out x64 versions, they've went the other way with HDR Pro, as it doesn't work in x86 windows!
A lot of people have bought it without reading the system specs (as you do) only to their cost.
It is mentioned in the system specs that it runs on 64bit windows only..... how to make friends and influence people.... :shrug:

It seems to have some issues with compatabillity, I had a heck of a job to get it to work, gave up on one computer, it installs fine but keeps crashing photoshop. Personally I wasn't impressed with it, very slow, I didn't like any of the presets, played about with it and got a result fairly similar to dynamic photo hdr (which is cheaper and lots quicker) I like Nik stuff normally but this is pants!
