IN PARTNERSHIP with leading
software developer Skylum, we
are delighted to offer AP readers
the chance to get their hands on
the award-winning Aurora HDR
2018 software for free. All you
need to do is to enter your email
address.
Aurora HDR 2018 is available
for both Mac and Windows and
features a new interface, speed
improvements and a range of
useful tools.
One of the most impressive
features is a powerful algorithm
for tone mapping single or multiple
exposures that results in a very
realistic starting image. When
merging brackets, the algorithm
analyses each image separately,
automatically detecting dark and
light zones and adjusting the level

of detail which will produce a

natural-looking HDR image. With

single image processing, the tone

mapping algorithm brings out

colours and enhances dark and

light zones.

Tons of tools

Another major improvement is the

HDR Enhance Filter. A single slider

adds details and clarity to an

image, adjusting colours, details

and contrast without creating

artificial halos or other artefacts.

Then there is the Lens Correction

Tool, a Dodge and Burn filter to

selectively lighten or darken

specific areas of an image, an

HDR Enhance Filter for adding

details and adjust colours and

contrast and much more. See

aurorahdr.com/2018.
