MacVoices

Kevin La Rue of Macphun is back to deliver another knockout demo of their new Aurora HDR software. You may have played with high dynamic range (HDR) photography before, but this new utility takes it to a whole new level. With input from professional photographer Trey Ratcliff, who is famous for his HDR work, Aurora HDR lets you go simple, dig deep or select some of Trey’s “recipes” when working with the HDR settings. Whether you’re shooting casually with your iPhone, or doing bracketed shooting with a DSLR, you need to see what this software can do to make your photos something special.
