How does Photoshop Lightroom differ from Adobe Photoshop CS3?
Adobe Photoshop CS3 software is the industry standard in digital image editing. Photoshop holds an important place in the pro photographer's toolbox, for detailed pixel-level editing and compositing, but photographers face a variety of workflow concerns beyond image editing. Lightroom addresses these needs in a photographer-centric way. Each module in Lightroom is dedicated to an essential photographic task—the Library for importing and managing photos; the Develop module for processing even hundreds of photographs at a time; the Slideshow, Web and Print modules to easily present photos on your screen, online, or in print. Lightroom also goes further in allowing you to manage raw files even if they are offline, with automatic importing from the folder on your computer used for tethered shooting.

To use, you simply select the images you want to blend and select 'Blend exposures using LR/Enfuse'. There are a number of options, but Tim's default choices are a good look at what the Plugin can do.” Interesting tutorial with lots of screenshots, before and after comparisons, and more.
