The speed issues were mostly gone, which was good. They were selling a turd as if it was the greatest pumpkin pie ever made.Īnyway, I bought 2017 reluctantly. And looking at all of the praise on the internet and feeling the hype, I thought “This is the Emperors New Clothes”. Particularly, because the first version was more of a Beta than an actual working tool. What? Do I have to buy a new version? Not just an update? All of my other tools for Photoshop come with free updates. It was far too slow and the results were not always satisfying. But, as soon as the smoke did clear I was not overly happy to work with the tool. I did make a couple of OK-ish images and I did a review while still biased by the hype. Whenever I did anything it took seconds and some operations took up to a minute. On my fully loaded, top of the line, all maxed out MacBook Pro I still found Aurora HDR was extremely slow. I then downscaled the images to about 12 megapixels and I was able to start the application, but I ended up waiting until I got a MacBook Pro. Not the fastest car on the highway, but certainly working.īut, starting the first version of Aurora HDR with a 36-megapixel image was impossible. Powerful enough to run Photoshop, Photomatix, and Lightroom. The biggest 2011 model, 4 Gb ram and i7 CPU. I am a software addict and I love to use new software. I did go into the software with a very open mind.
But, after the first initial rush of interest, I was deeply disappointed. No doubt the makers of Aurora MacPhun have put themselves in a good position, by allying themselves with one of the HDR giants Trey Ratcliff. Initially, when Aurora HDR came out two years ago I was very intrigued by the software.
