Intelligent processing tools that manipulate the image based on what is needed for the scene, rather than blanket features that blindly adjust the global values of the image. I wasn’t expecting Aurora to go in this direction but it makes sense. Like the Alien franchise, Skylum has started a new form of evolution, stepping beyond the perfect harmony between intelligence and raw power into something new, AI. Finally, with the launch of Aurora HDR 2019, its true form has been revealed as the perfect landscape-devouring monster. It was exciting and still powerful, but we only got to see hints of what this beast would become. The little creature continued to grow while occasionally popping out for an update here and there. Like the baby alien that just burst out of Kane’s chest in the first Alien movie, it took off running doing all these mysterious things behind the scenes. When I first started using Aurora back in 2017 it really felt like the beginning of something awesome. Upon its 4 October release date the software’s price tag will jump to $99 and $59, respectively.It’s been three years since the inception of Aurora HDR and man, this thing has grown in ways I didn’t imagine or expect. Skylum has also commissioned a number of professional photographers to develop their own Aurora HDR Looks.Īurora HDR 2019 will be priced at $89 for new users and $49 for those looking to upgrade. Other new features in Aurora HDR 2019 include an HDR Smart Structure that brings out detail while containing artifacts, and a new LUT mapping tool with instant preview that allows you to colour grade your images.Īurora HDR Looks replaces Presets for more natural-looking images that brings out textures, Skylum says.

Skylum says that its new Quantum HDR Engine can help reduce burned colours, loss of contrast, reduce noise and limit haloes and ghosting in your HDR images, whether you’re using bracketed shots or a single image.
To develop the engine, Skylum tested it against thousands of images to help it learn how to produce natural-looking high dynamic range images. What this introduces is AI-driven tone mapping technology to analyse your images and merge them together.
Skylum’s Quantum HDR Engine is the chief new upgrade in the 2019 update. Skylum Software has announced the next version of its high dynamic range editing software, Aurora HDR 2019, which introduces a new AI-powered Quantum HDR Engine.
