Aurora says this slider increases detail and texture without adding it to water or sky. The HDR Enhancer slider made almost every image opened pop a little. First is the HDR Basic section which is very similar to Lightroom’s (ACR) Basic Panel, except for a couple sliders. The top filters have more to do with the actual HDR effects. Many of the lower listed filters are the same as those in Luminar. To use this program, just started at the top of the right-hand column of filters and went down the list. In this case the image was mainly processed in the stand-alone program, and with a little finishing up in Photoshop (like my signature and stroke border).

I could not get over how the water looks exactly as I remember it – major clear with this yellowy sand base and it was major sunny. The image above is a 5-bracketed image, hand-held, from Spanish Cay in the Outer Banks of the Bahamas – one of the most beautiful, yet desolate places I have ever seen. It does not seem to affect the overall results of your images.

Well it is definitely an excellent HDR editor! Skylum sure has a special way of creating software! And I am really loving this plug-in! It is lacking many details in the interface for us Windows users right now but I am once again under the impression this program will eventually get caught up to match the Mac version.

This is another release by Skylum (previously Macphun) for Windows, the same group who brought us Luminar 2018 (also at above link). I seem to be on an HDR quest so this week I took the time to try out Aurora HDR 2018 (for website link, see sidebar at my Tidbits Blog).
