Aurora HDR 2018 Coming This Month

September 21, 2017 By Eric Reagan

The new update for Aurora HDR is coming later this month – September 28 to be exact. Aurora HDR 2018 adds a ton of new features, including a completely redone tone mapping algorithm that automatically reduces noise, and produces more realistic and natural initial results.

If you’re not familiar with Aurora HDR, it is the software co-created by Trey Ratcliff and the folks at Macphun, which makes other popular photo software apps like Intensify, Tonality and Snapheal.

Aurora HDR 2018 is avialable for pre-order through September 28 with $10 off upgrade and new user pricing. You can find more details here on the Aurora HDR website.
