Aurora HDR is a powerful software for all photographers who are passionate about landscapes and architecture and regularly use AE bracketing on their cameras to create powerful images. The new 2018 version will bring the following improvements:

  • Lens Correction Tool: a new Lens correction filter that can help you eliminate lens distortion as well as chromatic aberration and vignetting
  • New User Interface: redesigned from scratch, the new interface promises to be more responsive and powerful and improve the user experience
  • Cross-platform version: for the first time Aurora HDR will be available both for Mac and PC computers. You will be able to use the same files on both platforms and multiple computers in the same house-hold will be able to share the same product key (max. 5 devices)
  • Speed Improvements: Macphun promises up to 4x speed with RAW image processing, and up to 200% faster merging and masking performance in comparison to 2017 version.

Aurora HDR 2018 will be availabe for pre-order on September 12th, and will be released on September 28th. As usual, pre-orders will get a special price discount: $49 for current Aurora users and $89 for new users. A collection of bonuses will also be included with every purchase.
