HDRInstant is a small Adobe Lightroom plugin that allows you to create HDR photos in an unconventional, but easier way. The plugin is capable of extracting individual frames from video footage shot with any camera and turning them into amazing HDR images.

The plugin can achieve this by using multiple frames neighboring the chosen video frame, stacking them all together and, after using a special morphing algorithm, the final HDR photo is created. All you have to do is to load your video clip into Adobe Lightroom and extract as many frames as possible in order to get a noise-free final HDR image.

In addition to that, HDRInstant will also align the stacked frames automatically, thus eliminating camera shake and improving the quality of the created photo. If you want to try HDRInstant to see how it really works, you can head to the official website from where you can download a short trial version.

If you decide that HDRInstant satisfies your needs, you can purchase the plugin at a price of $29 / €21 (usually $59 / €43) for a limited time only. Keep in mind that it requires Lightroom 4 or higher.
