There is no practical use for this plug-in. Any image saved for web, regardless of weather or not it happens to have been created via HDR methods, will export with the same 8-bit JPEG compression. The means of acquiring the HDR photo are already present in CS2 and CS3 respectively. There is nothing complicated about it. As far as Photomatix is concerned, I am not impressed with the unrealistic and sloppy 'tonal mapping' it produces or it's poor ability to handle 'ghosting'.
