Now lets talk about a problem that occurs only when Deghosting is actviated.

But just like Lightroom it makes the dent that Skylum presents new versions with costs every year with only little improvements. Here the difference in brightness is significant but nothing which can’t be altered to your personal taste in later rpocessing.īesides the facts that the HDR Enhance ruler now has its own set or that Aurora HDR 2019 supports LUT there not that much new that would justify a new major release. Here the image merged in Aurora HDR 2019 is brighter and less saturated. Normally the resulting image in Aurora HDR 2018 is darker, but in this example the one from the 2019 version is the darker image. But in my tests this is only true if you use 16-Bit Tiff files, if you use RAW files directly it takes a longer time before the result is displayed. I did a little video on this which contains the results:īasically the new Quantum HDR Engine in Aurora HDR 2019 is faster, the HDR image is merged faster and available for further processing. But this time i also tried to use RAW files in both versions of Aurora HDR. Normally i use optimzed 16-Bit Tiff files already processed in Lightroom. I tested this by handling over bracket exposure series both to Aurora HDR 2018 and the 2019 version. The tool costs 99 € for the full version and 69 € for a update version.īut now the main question is, is the update worth it? Base situation
Aurora hdr 2018 vs 2019 for mac#
The program is available for Mac and Windows and you’ll get a trial version, which lasts 14 days only. Since then Skylum released a couple of updates which removed this problem and implemented some other improvements. This former version sort of made an unfinished impression, for example exporting HDR images as 16-Bit Tiff files wasn’t implemnted at this time. One year ago i posted on Aurora HDR 2018 on this side, which was the first version available for Windows at this time. Exactly one year year after the last version Skylum released Aurora HDR 2019 a couple of days ago, which according to Skylum brings considerable improvements.
