About Aurora HDR:
Aurora HDR is not just a tool for merging bracketed images, it also provides numerous tools and countless options to create perfect HDR photos for every taste - from one-click presets and advanced tone-mapping, to layers, noise reduction and powerful luminosity masking controls.
A personal note from me about Aurora HDR:
This product completely changed my photography when I first opened it about 2 years ago. It led me down a new creative path and I am forever grateful for that. The current version is just incredible and I still use it all the time (along with Luminar). I am excited to get my hands on this new version which will be happening soon.
