Do I need the plug-in?

 
 
 
If you already have Photomatix Pro, you only need the plug-in for Photoshop if it is important for you to be able to use the Tone Mapping methods within Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6 directly.
The standalone Photomatix Pro and Essentials already include Tone Mapping. Additionnaly, the standalone programs include Exposure Fusion, which is not available in the Tone Mapping Plugin for Photoshop.
The differences between tone mapping with Photomatix Pro versus tone mapping with the Photoshop Plug-In are detailed here.
