Let’s take a look at the best HDR software that you can use to produce high contrast and high dynamic range images.

High Dynamic Range or HDR is a popular effect in photography. It involves capturing a larger range of light stops from the darkest black to the brightest white. This happens by combining two or more images of the same composition, each of which entails a different exposure setting relevant for a particular section of the composition.

In other words, an HDR image represents a higher dynamic range than you would otherwise get with a single exposure. Which in turn means you get more details out of both the highlights and shadow areas of your images.

Most modern cameras come with software that allows combining of two or more images and thereby creating a single image with a higher dynamic range. Even smartphones and of course point & shoot systems come with this feature. However, the problem with these systems is that there is hardly any control over what the final output would be like.

The best solution is to shoot with a DSLR or an interchangeable lens camera. At least any camera that allows you to shoot in RAW and use a feature known as Auto Exposure Bracketing. When you have the different exposures you need you can then combine them together and post-process them to produce the results you need.

BEST HDR Software Choices

Speaking of HDR software, there are a few good choices in the market.

Photomatix Pro immediately comes to mind.
So does Nik’s HDR Efex Pro.
Aurora HDR is another great choice.
Of course, in between all these Adobe’s Creative Cloud involving Lightroom and Photoshop are a software duo that has always remained a market leader.

1. Photomatix Pro

Photomatix Pro is a product developed by UK Based software company HDRSoft. It is probably the oldest dedicated HDR software that’s been around. Many photographers would vouch that they have used Photomatix as their first ever HDR software.

Recently they came up with version 6 (see our Photomatix review) and an HDR batch plugin for Lightroom.

Already, Photomatix Pro garners a sizeable following when it comes to editing and developing HDR imagery. Version 6 of the product releases a number of exciting new features.

Details Enhancer vs. Tone Balancer

One of the problems of overdoing the HDR effect is that the result looks far too obvious. There is literally very few blacks and whites which tend to suggest that the software has been stretched to produce an unrealistic effect.

Details Enhancer

One of the tools inside Photomatix Pro that can be held responsible for this is Details Enhancer. Details Enhancer can sometimes create those really weird over the top results that go against the whole concept of a contrasting yet realistic landscape photo.

Tone Balancer

For editing landscapes, choose the Tone Balancer tool inside Photomatix Pro. This produces the sort of results that are realistic and looks good. Of course under each of the tools you can adjust the sliders to produce a more tasteful result.

Just as with everything else in photography, HDR effects too, depend on the personal taste and preferences of a photographer. So, overdoing the effects can have disastrous effects.

One of the latest features of the software is the ability to blend in a hitherto unedited frame with an HDR image. This basically gives one more option to the photographers to produce a slightly more contrasting result. This can, however, be adjusted. You can change the opacity to ensure a result more to your taste. This prevents the overdone effect.

Brush Tool

Still, on the new features of the software, Photomatix 6 has a new Brush tool feature. This brush tool allows you to make adjustments to specific areas of a photo. The Brush tool is available under Color Settings. So, saturation, temperature, and brightness whatever changes you make to an image those don’t have to be global.

The brush tool works for even the blending tool. Meaning, you can brush over the areas where you don’t want the blending effect to take place. A new Detect Edges tool does a great job of knowing where the edges of the photos are and that takes care of any unintended application of the brush tool.

While most HDR software would require that you shoot from a fixed platform, such as a tripod so that the alignments are uniform across all the images, Photomatix do not have any such requirements.

Straighten Tool

Another tool that may be useful, depending on whether you are coming from Lightroom or Photoshop or using Photomatix Pro as a standalone product, is the Straighten tool. The Straighten tool allows you to straighten things like a straight line or the horizon line or a straight building which may appear curved due to imperfections in the lens. If you use any other standalone software you don’t need this tool. Ideally, if you are using Lightroom or Photoshop, then these tools are more than enough for you to take care of these little adjustments.

User Assisted Ghost Removal

Finally, a word on the User Assisted Ghost Removal tool. If you have dabbled a bit in HDR photography you would no doubt know that taking multiple images in an urban environment will definitely capture one of more moving elements in the frames. A person or a car or a bird. This creates a ‘smearing effect’ in the final image which is known as Ghosting (not the same as in lens Ghosting).

All good HDR software do come with a built-in ghost removal function. But they don’t tend to do a great job because they are not psychic. The User Assisted Ghost Removal tool goes a step ahead of the built-in Ghost removal tool. Using this feature you can mark out the area that you need to be corrected. You can even select the frame that you wish to use.

2. Aurora HDR

Aurora HDR is yet another HDR software, which some photographers such as Serge Ramelli claim to be the best HDR software on the planet. I personally feel that is a bit over-exaggerated.

The software is developed as a joint collaboration between Trey Ratcliff from StuckinCustoms and Skylum, a company that produces a lot of utility image editing software.

Let’s take a look at some of the features of Aurora HDR software.

Sorry Windows People!

One thing though, this software is only available for the Mac. A windows version is in the works (update: Aurora 2018 is now available, incl. the Windows version) as the company claims. You can subscribe to updates about the launch of the windows version.

HDR Tone Mapping

One of the most powerful tools available in the software is the HDR Tone Mapping. The most instantly gratify
