Lost Your Enfuse Plugin? Here's How to Get it Back in Lightroom 'lr enfuse plugin disappeared'

Are you missing your beloved LrEnfuse plugin from within Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (LR)? Don't worry, I've got a step-by-step guide on how to re-enable this incredibly useful tool.

The first and most obvious place to start is by checking whether the plugin itself has somehow gone AWOL. Sometimes, these things can get misplaced or hidden away in hard-to-reach corners of your computer's file system. Let's take a look:

### Step 1: Locate Your LrEnffuse Plugin File

Firstly, let's locate where you originally downloaded and extracted the plugin from. Typically, this should be within your LR 'Plug-ins' folder - for Mac users, it'll probably be here:

```

~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.lightroom.x.localized/Plugins

```

For Windows folks, try looking in one of these locations (you might need to enable 'Show Hidden Files' by pressing the `Shift` key while navigating):

```

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\Lightroom x.x\Plug-ins

```

### Step 2: Re-Add the LrEnfuse Plugin

Once you've found it, simply follow these steps:

1. Open Lightroom and head to File > Plug-in Manager.

2. Click on the + Add button at the top left corner of this window.

3. Browse for and select the `LREnfuse.lrplugin` file you extracted earlier.

4. If prompted, enter your serial number if you have one (this usually only applies to the paid version).

### Step 3: Enable LR/Enfuse

After successfully re-installing the plugin:

1. Select any image in Lightroom's main window.

2. Go up to File > Plug-in Extras and look for Blend exposures using LR/Enfuse.

3. Click on this menu option, and voila! The plugin should now be enabled once again.

### Alternative Solutions

If none of the above steps work for you, don't despair - there are some alternative solutions worth exploring:

* LR/Enfise: Another excellent stacking plugin that offers similar features to LrEnfuse. Plus, it's free and doesn't have any export limitations!

* Exporting in 16-bit TIFF: If you're experiencing quality issues with your exported images, try exporting them as 16-bit tiff files instead. This can help maintain maximum detail and dynamic range.
