Updates in version 6.0

New Rendering Method for Realistic Look

Tone Balancer is a new Tone Mapping HDR rendering method which is good for realistic-looking results. It is well suited to real estate photographers and natural style landscape photographers who want more realistic style options.

Individual Color Adjustments

A new color adjustment tool, built right into the HDR Rendering panel, allows you to change the hue, saturation and brightness of individual colors in your image, which is particularly useful for fixing color casts.

Brush Tool

Make adjustments to just part of your image using the brush tool. Select the changes to color or brightness that you want, and paint over the area you want to affect. You can also use the brush to blend areas with one of the source photos and select multiple effects for different parts of the image.

Blending

For a more realistic look, you can now blend the HDR rendered image with one of the original photos. Change the opacity to get a larger or smaller influence on the end result.

Straightening Tool

Correct the horizon in your image if it's not level, or when vertical things like walls or buildings don't look vertical. The tool is part of the Finishing Touch palette.

More Intuitive Workflow

Whether you are working with a single image, or a bracketed set of photos, a more streamlined workflow for loading images will help you get to editing much more quickly and intuitively.
