Updates in version 6.0

More Style Choices for Realistic Results

Tone Balancer is a new HDR rendering method which gives you more options for achieving a realistic look. It is well suited to real estate photographers and natural style landscape photographers.

More Refined Control using Brush Tool

With the new interactive brush tool, you can make adjustments to just part of your image. Select the changes to color or brightness that you want, and paint over the area you want to affect.

Individual Color Adjustments

A new color adjustment tool, built right into the HDR Rendering panel, lets you change the hue, saturation and brightness of individual colors in your image - great for fixing color casts, and enhancing skies and other features. Combine this with the brush tool for even greater control.

Blending

For a more realistic look, you can now blend the HDR rendered image with one of the original photos. You can change the opacity to get a larger or smaller influence on the end result, and use the brush tool to change only part of the image.

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 intuitive workflow makes it easier to load and choose images and proceed through to editing.
