Aurora HDR

In early 2016, Aurora HDR was updated with support to run as an editing extension for Apple Photos for Mac.

The user interface of Aurora HDR consists of the following: Presets are pre-installed one-click controls that apply a specific "style" to the tone-mapped image.

The Preset panel in Aurora HDR Pro contains 7 separate categories applicable to all types of photos and users can designate their favorite for future use.

The software exports in the following file formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, JPG-2000, TIFF, Photoshop, and PDF, and can also transfer images directly into Skylum's Creative Suite for further editing.
