Because there is this 100% white colour in the image Aurora is refusing to expand the dynamic range because it sees this solid white area as part of the image. I can understand what's happening now, Aurora is replacing the transparent areas of my images with a solid white colour. I've been trying lots of different things to fix my problem and noticed that my original histogram had a big white bar at the far right hand side: I just removed all the transparency from my source images and imported them into Aurora 2019 and I now have this histogram to start with: I feel as if I wasted my time sending you the images as it doesn't look like anyone tried them to see the differences I'm bringing up. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
It differs from the previous version, that's why the processed images might look differently. HDR Smart Structure for realistic and artifact-free depth and details. I also tried to be helpful by sending you my images but the response I received from your support was the same as you told me in your first reply:Īurora HDR has a new tone-mapping technology for single and bracketed images with the Quantum HDR Engine and

I've tried using the smart tone as suggested but it is not allowing me to create images as good as before, when you've lost a full stop of exposure any tool will struggle. I decided to try the Realistic Vivid preset from 2018, applied it to an image, saved it as a filter preset and then imported it into 2019, the result looked much better than the Vivid preset of 2019.
I can give you a clear example, the new Vivid, it makes images look darker than the Natural preset, by its very definition vivid means more colourful. I'm trying to use the new presets but they almost always seem to give an obvious HDR effect with unnatural colours and on top of that manage to lose sharpness compared to 2018. The opposite is true, time after time I'm not able to get results which look as good as Aurora 2018. When I upgraded I'd hoped to run my favourite HDR shots through 2019 and be able to improve on what I was able to get in 2018. If there are 2018 presets you like, you can save those as a User preset and then use the above method to copy them over.īut 2019 presets were generally redeveloped from the ground up or at a minimum completely rebuilt using the new engine, Better yet, reinstall from the installer packs if you have them by using the File menu in 2019 (do not double-click the installer).

Copy to a new location and then use File > Import option in 2019 to convert and update them. If there are presets you like in 2018 that are user installed or created, those can be easily moved (just reveal your presets folder under 2018). There was a goal to make the new Aurora HDR Looks focussed more on creativity.Many of the previous presets were made obsolete by the new tone-mapping engine.There are fewer presets for many reasons. Try using Smart Tone instead of Exposure to refine the balance you like as well. The tone mapping is completely different between the two versions. In 2018 I only needed to adjust the exposure by 0.43 in 2019 I have to go to 1.43 to get the same light I hope you can see they are completely different. Is there any reference to explain the changes?įinally to finish on a positive, the difference in noise on that image is like night and day, here is a 100% zoom of both: I'm also struggling with the presets, there seem to be fewer presets and all the names have changed. I hope you can see they are completely different. In 2018 I only needed to adjust the exposure by 0.43 in 2019 I have to go to 1.43 to get the same light (In the end I couldn't use the side with the sun as there was a stitching problem, my drone must have tilted.) I did underexpose the images as this was a panorama with the sun on one side, but the histogram in 2019 looks very different. I decided it might be an issue with presets so I ran the original images through both versions. As soon as I installed 2019 I opened the mpaur2 file but it didn't look right, I opened 2018 in another window to compare and they were totally different. I've been waiting for Aurora 2019 to continue working on a HDR I've done.
