Update August 16, 2017: Macphun has released details on the full version of Aurora HDR 2018 in the rather silly video below with Trey Ratcliff. For now, the back catalog of Macphun’s other apps will remain MacOS-only. “Our plan is to be a cross-platform software company going forward and we are starting with Luminar and Aurora HDR,” La Rue said. We have new versions of these products already in the pipeline for the Fall of 2017 that will launch simultaneously on Mac and Windows, La Rue said. Going forward, both versions will be developed simultaneously. While those eager to test drive Luminar and Aurora HDR on Windows will get their chance with the beta in July, the full versions won’t be released until this fall, alongside new versions of the MacOS counterparts. Luminar also took home the coveted 2017 Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for Best Imaging Software. Windows users may not have heard of Macphun yet, but the company’s apps have won numerous awards, including Apple’s “Editor’s Choice” recognition in the Mac App store for five years running. That application has also received significant updates since our hands-on test. We also spent some time with a beta version of Luminar in November 2016, which we called a “breath of fresh air” in the world of photo editing. Macphun Luminar takes complexity out of photo editing, but retains the power Read my disclosure.Macphun brings AI tech to photo editing with Luminar Neptune If you decide to make a purchase, I will earn a commission at no cost to you.

But if you just bought the 2018 version and you are comfortable using layers to achieve the results you want, then you can probably get by with what you have for awhile longer. Also, if you are not comfortable using layers, the 2019 version will be easier for you. If you are doing a lot of HDR, your workflow will be much faster with the 2019 version. However, I feel those results are possible to achieve in the 2018 version of the software – you just have to work a little harder for it. You can now get better results easier and quicker. The 2019 version of Aurora definitely has some great improvements. This is an easy way to get a dramatic look and feel to your images. You can now add colour profiles to your images in a similar way as Lightroom. Before now, you had to use layers to create this effect in just part of the frame. That means that you can easily adjust the highlights and shadows in just the sky or just the foreground. Adjustable Gradientįormerly called Top & Bottom Tuning, this panel now includes highlights and shadows sliders. No one wants structure in the smooth areas of the sky! This feature now makes it easier to get this effect where you want it without the need for using layers to achieve the result. It is smart! This slider now analyses your image and only applies structure to the more detailed parts of the scene. So right off the bat when your brackets come in to Aurora you are starting off with a better image before you even touch any of the sliders. The new Quantum HDR Engine is combining brackets in a much more intelligent way resulting in images that have fewer burnt out colours, fewer halos and less noise.
