While we’re talking about the interface, I’ll also mention that the new version of Aurora HDR has a history panel included. Some of the things that have moved and the icons that have changed actually make things a bit more intuitive, but other than that it’s a fresh look more than anything. None of this makes Aurora HDR 2018 any more functional or better to use than earlier versions, but I do think the changes that Macphun has made are improvements. Things have moved around, some of the icons have changed slightly, the text is a bit crisper, and the sliders look different. Neither tools are immediately useful in all photos, but they are handy to have and come in use from time to time either for creative purposes or to try to correct something in the photo that looks funky out of the camera. The Transform tool on the other hand lets you do things like rotate the photo around the x or y axis, offset it, change the aspect ratio, and stretch or move it in different directions. The Lens Correction sliders help you manually correct things in your photo like distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberrations. There are two extra features in Aurora 2018 called Lens Corrections and Transform. New Lens Corrections and Transform Tools: That’s it and it doesn’t get much easier.ģ. You can also choose the size of the brush. Then you click the button that says “Start Painting.” Along the top, you can then choose if you want to lighten or darken or erase. The way it works is that you choose the amount of lightening or darkening that you want to apply. This is something that I always like to do to photos and now that there is a specific tool it saves a few steps and makes things a bit easier. It’s simple, and basically just lets you lighten or darken areas by brushing/painting. The new dodge and burn tool in Aurora HDR 2018 is really useful. This has never mattered much to me because I use a Mac anyways, but someone out there must be excited about this. Now after 3 years since its first release, Windows users can get in on the party. I guess this made sense being made by a company called Macphun. Aurora HDR is Finally Available for Windows:įor the longest time, Aurora HDR was only available for Mac users.
