When I edit images in Aurora, I always select a starting preset. I also had Alignment turned on - when you’re working handheld with windy conditions, this comes in really handy. I chose the option for Ghost Reduction, as well as Chromatic Aberration Removal. I chose a three bracketed images to combine in Aurora HDR 2018. But I wanted to create an image that you’d see in a coffee table book, tourism magazine or otherwise - something that showed a bright, amazing landscape! Get Your Settings Right It was super windy that day, sprinkling and very gloomy. One of the must-see locations in Ireland is the Ring of Kerry, a 111-mile trek that basically shows you some of the best and greatest scenery of Ireland. Secondly, it was windy, creating a lot of ghosting should I put together an HDR photograph. First, the skies weren’t really blue - they were grey for 99% of our time there. I recently was able to bring some of them into Aurora HDR 2018, to help bring out some of the shadows, tone down the highlights and overall create a much more appealing image. There’s a couple of problems that I ran into with literally every photograph in Ireland.

In the final image, I've also made the sky more vibrant and removed digital noise using the HDR Denoise tool. Using these techniques, you can selectively edit areas, apply new effects, and otherwise make the photo more dynamic than what you started with. (Actually, clicking the Brush button toggles to the Eraser, too.) To erase brush strokes, click the Eraser button next to the Brush button just above the image. If you need to change other aspects, Control-click to view the menu wherever the mouse pointer is. The image itself isn't copied instead, think of it as a container for settings (or what Photoshop calls an adjustment layer).Īs you draw, press the bracket keys ( ) to reduce or increase the size of the brush instead of returning to the drop-down menu.

In beach sunrise photo below, I want to draw attention to the design carved into the sand by the water rivulets, and also brighten the foreground. If you're coming from an iPhoto/Photos for OS X background, prepare to be amazed and inspired.

If you've used Adobe Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) or other image-editing software that supports layers, you'll feel right at home. Or, specifically in the case of creating HDR images, I may want to combine the effects of two presets in one photo. Noise in the sky would be better toned down. In nearly every photo I capture, some element stands out that I want to devote more attention to. These editing capabilities elevate it above being a simple conversion utility for merging multiple exposures-but the layer and mask features kick it into orbit. Layers and MasksĪurora HDR includes a huge number of settings for adjusting tone, color, structure, and more.

In addition to the presets that come with the application, you can save your own based on settings you make, and also share them with friends who also own Aurora HDR. Tip: Press the Tab key, or choose View > Toggle Presets, to temporarily hide the presets and view more of your image.
