One aspect that Aurora HDR 2019 has that both Photoshop and Lightroom don’t have, is intuitive ease of use. tiff, but then you get the image only – no editing history. You can go back any time and tweak things. The program saves to its own file format where it preserves all of your editing history and adjustments. Like some aspects of Lightroom, all of the changes you make to an image in Aurora are non-destructive. If you’re a beginner, this probably won’t make much difference to you, but if you’re used to having serious control over exactly how you adjust your images, this will be a serious plus. Unlike Lightroom, Aurora HDR also allows you to work with layers, masks and blending modes à la Photoshop. There’s even a histogram at the top (which I find very useful). The adjustment panels run down the left-hand side and many of the initial sliders are exactly as you’d see them in Lightroom. The first thing that both novices and experienced photo editors who work in Lightroom will notice is that the interface seems quite similar to Lightroom, though much sleeker. The UI is sleek and intuitive and the controls handle a bit like a race car – just the slightest adjustment creates substantial results. On top of that, Aurora is also far more powerful and pleasant to use than any other HDR software I’ve ever worked with. Not once have I ended up with halos or fringing. In addition, the ghost reduction is impressive and the color denoise and chromatic aberration reduction really works. There’s far less noise in the final image and considerably better tonal blending.
(It was certainly better than anything I’ve ever done in Photomatrix Pro).
I’ve run a number of my old sets of bracketed exposures through it, and the opening image is often (though not always) far superior than what I was working with in the 2018 version or in Nik’s HDR Pro.
Aurora HDR 2019 uses AI in their new Quantum HDR engine, and the results are excellent. All HDR programs have their unique way of merging photos.
