Geht es um besonders farbintensive, kontrastreiche Fotos mit hohem Dynamikumfang, benutze ich den HDR-Editor Aurora von Macphun. Mir gefallen die zahlreichen Stellschrauben und die trotz der vielen Funktionen immer noch recht intuitive Bedienung. Außerdem ist die Software für das Gebotene erfreulich preiswert.
Aurora HDR hat jetzt ein großes Update bekommen, ist erstmals für Mac und Windows erhältlich und heißt nun Aurora HDR 2018. Für diejenigen, die mit der HDR-Ästhetik liebäugeln und ihre eigenen Fotoergebnisse deutlich verbessern wollen, kommt hier eine Übersicht über die Features und Verbesserungen.

Ausführliche Infos und ein begrenztes Sonderangebot zur Einführung gibt es hier.
