I’ve been using the previous version, Aurora HDR 2018 since it came out more than a year ago.

It’s latest incarnation and major update is Aurora HDR 2019. While the automatic grouping feature is an neat idea, it really doesn’t offer any advantages over the tried and true multiples method, but instead has critical disadvantages.My Comparison: Aurora HDR 2019 vs Aurora HDR 2018Īurora HDR has become the gold standard of HDR ( High Dynamic Range) processing. Obviously, this is unacceptable, so I’m not really seeing the point of the batch feature in its current state, unless I’m missing a setting to specify multiples, or a way to adjust the auto groups… I tried manually dragging the images to their correct groups, which it allowed me to do, but it didn’t change anything, as but the results remained the same. Not only did some images not get “grouped”, some groups contained 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9 images! I’m shooting with a D750 and a D600, both in aperture priority, auto bracketing 3 frames at 2 stops apart.įor example, I tried to test batch a job with 282 images in Oloneo and Photomatix, this yielded the expected 94 hdr images (282/3=94). I Just downloaded and tried 2019 in hopes that the batch processing may have improved from 2018, but it almost seems worse… of course, this would be a non-issue if we could bypass the auto-grouping and specify batches by multiples instead, or at least have the option to adjust/modify the auto “grouping”… If you rely on batch processing, look elsewhere, at least for now. I use aurora from time to time but lightroom in my case is often enough.Ī pity aurora is not included in luminar to avoid chosing between two softs.

the luminosity masks are really poor in skylum compared to greg benz lumenzia or even ON1 with two sliders.Ī pity that ON1 is so slow on my pc and browse doesn’t allow to launch photoshop,… (send to is buggy, looks inside layers) because ON1 is really an amazing soft. i was waiting for tonality for PC and skylum considers the b&w filter in luminar is enough. Upoints remain for me a revolution for selection. I find normal to pay update to help companies to survive and make a good job.Īdobe has produced some tools this year but frankly nothing genius like AI,… and how many years did we wait for some tools in lightroom Just a pity lightroom doesn’t have a content aware eraser and a local HSL. I have all suites (nik, skylum, dxo, on1, topaz) and i spend most of the time in lightroom.

(As a consultant system engineer of over 30-years experience working for multi-nationals, I’ve come across software houses just like Skylum many-a-time, and I will always steer my clients away from such customer treachery even in the face of a superior product!) Out of a sincere appreciation and respect for what you do, I am taking the extraordinary step of writing you out of a sincere concern. To date, I consider highly your value proposition and have recommended many a colleague that they take a look at your offerings. It is my hope however, that you carefully consider how easily your personal reputation can be sullied when backing a company like Skylum (I know that you have personally taken some heat from your supporters over the last year for Skylum transgressions). Of course, your relationship with Skylum is a bread-winner and nobody can blame you for that.

The ongoing disparity between Mac and PC versions of both Aurora HDR and Luminar alone, seriously call into question Skylum’s value proposition and perhaps more importantly, their integrity. It takes not a math genius to compare what product enhancements Adobe have delivered to their customers in the last 12-months to what Skylum has delivered.

And on that subject, Skylum boasted their non-subscription based products to lure over faithful Adobe customers only to hit their newly-converted customers up with an annual upgrade that is over 60% of the cost of a new product! (Early-adopter offers notwithstanding). Charging 2018 Aurora HDR owners yet another $49 to upgrade to the 2019 version with such outstanding disparity between Mac and PC versions alone is nothing less than a money-grab in the opinion of many who tried abandoning the subscription-based Adobe alternative. Still failing to deliver on their deal-greasing promise of a DAM as well as the significant lack of parity between Mac and PC versions of their products, Skylum have much to do to be considered an honorable and trust-worthy company.

On the subject of Skylum however, you must pause to honestly acknowledge their growing reputation among the community.

First off please let me say that I respect your work Nicole and and your sincere commitment to value-adding the photo creation process.
