A couple of days ago, Macphun announced a big upgrade to its popular HDR software. Named Aurora HDR 2017, it promises to bring several new features and improvements. If you are not familiar with it, Aurora HDR is a powerful software designed in collaboration with renowned travel photographer Trey Ratcliff. It is a powerful program that is directly compatible with RAW files, can work with layers and masks and has an exhaustive list of settings specifically designed for HDR post-processing, making it the most complete software available on the market.
If you are curious to find out more about it, you can read our Aurora HDR review on MirrorLessons.
The 2017 edition will bring several new features including:
- Batch processing: automatically group your bracketed shots, apply effects and process them with once click of a mouse or trackpad
- Smart polarizer: you can saturate the colours and remove unnecessary glare in the sky, simulating the effect of a polarizer filter
There are also several improvements including a renovated interface and a more powerful tone mapping algorithm.
The new version will be available for pre-order starting September 15th and will be ready to download at the end of the same month. Furthermore, the update should also bring the long-awaited Windows version. To find out more, visit the Macphun website.
