The Pro version also offers plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements and Apple Aperture, includes unlimited numbers of brackets, ghost reduction, native RAW support, PSD file support and some of Trey Ratcliffs signature HDR presets. Available in Standard ($39) and Pro ($99) versions, both operate as a standalone app with multiple licenses for up to 5 Macs, and is arguably one of the best software for HDR photography.
#AURORA HDR SOFTWARE OPENS AT STRTUP FOR MAC#
You can go to extremes, with eye-popping colors and crunchy details or keep an image looking natural looking, with just enough tweaking to maintain details in both highlights and shadows in high contrast scenarios ( HDR is ideal for real estate photography, for example).Īurora HDR is currently for Mac only (but a Windows application is promised, so hang in there PC users). HDR has generally been a love-it-or-hate-it proposition among photographers but it does not have to be. And Macphun has done an excellent job with this software, as well as other applications such as Tonality Pro (one of my Macphun favorites), so it is a win-win in my book. He is incredibly prolific and has always been extremely generous with his HDR knowledge and advice. Ratcliff has probably done more to promote and popularize HDR than any software manufacturer or photographer ever has. While there are other HDR software applications out there (and most have been around longer than this one), Aurora HDR stands out for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that the application is a collaboration between Macphun and HDR wizard, Trey Ratcliff. Not surprisingly, todays HDR processing tools are much more sophisticated and much easier to use thanks to software applications like Macphuns Aurora HDR. Perhaps the earliest method of producing high dynamic range images started in the 1800s, when French photographer Gustave Le Gray shot and combined two negatives in the darkroom to produce a well-exposed print of a high contrast seascape.
