Aurora is non destructive, so you can easily undo any adjustment and even revert to the original image and start over again. HDR photographers Trey Ratcliff (an Aurora co-creator), Serge Ramelli, and Randy Van Duinen contribute their own signature Looks packs reflecting their individual styles.Ĭhoose from eight built-in Looks collections.Īpplying one-click Looks is just a starting point, as you can build in additional edits with the layer and masking features. Aurora comes with eight Looks collections: Essential, Landscape, Architecture, Dramatic and Artistic. The app’s controls and sliders give you complete visual power over your picture. Version 2019 introduces a new Looks feature, previously called presets, with additional aesthetic choices and refined toning. New featuresĪurora HDR, like other Skylum apps such as Luminar, is extremely easy to use with a friendly interface that masks nearly all of its technical complexity. It works with various photo formats, including raw. A batch processing feature lets you import multiple folders of images for export as bracketed or single images – accurately identifying which images are bracketed and which stand alone. It corrects colors, boosts contrast, reduces noise, and prevents unnatural lighting and ghosting. Traditional HDR photography merges multiple images, but Aurora also lets you transform a single raw image to HDR via its AI-based neural network. Aurora HDR reconciles the difference between what the eye sees and what the camera captures, thus rescuing many poorly shot or exposed photos.
