Video: A First Look at Aurora HDR 2019

I have been a bit busy over the past few weeks, so I am a little behind with the announcement of the next version of Aurora HDR from Skylum Software. Also, given that the press release was pretty much covered on every site out there, I didn’t want to post something about it without trying it first. So having played with the beta for a little while now, I made a quick video to give you a run through of the new version.

Please note that this is not a review, i’s just a quick first look. I will try and do a more comprehensive review once the final version is out.

The software is available for pre-order now from Skyum. and will be released on October 4th.
