Aurora HDR

Aurora HDR is the world’s most advanced HDR photo editor, enjoyed by millions of photographers. And is the only HDR photo software, named “Best Mac App of the Year”.

Skylum’s HDR algorithm, powered by Artificial Intelligence, creates the most natural-looking images that show the full dynamic range of the scene. With Aurora HDR, you can overcome the biggest challenges faced by HDR photographers.

The new HDR Smart Structure filter unlocks depth and definition in an image. Skylum’s proprietary algorithms add more detail and tone to your images. It elevates the quality of a standard structure slider in other software, and was developed specifically for High Dynamic Range photography.

We believe that making dramatic beautiful photos should be enjoyable, instead of being complex and time-consuming. So we built Aurora HDR to be accessible for photographers of all skill levels. A custom designed user interface has everything you need, and nothing extra.

Whether you want to work with a single image or multiple exposures, whether you rely on presets, or need to have a full control over every pixel - Aurora HDR puts a beautiful creative canvas in front of you.

As you’d expect from a professional photography software, Aurora HDR gives you tools & flexibility to do things you’ve always wanted. It’s the layers with custom blending modes, adjustable masking brush, intuitive transform tools, history panel and more that make Aurora HDR a choice of millions of professional photographers around the globe.
