it is getting very tedious to have to close and open the program every time i want to drag some new images in. once i have processed and saved a image i go to File>Open and i get a dialog to save the image which is stupid because i just did, then i get a explorer window which is lame as i just want to drag in a some new images, not have to hunt for them in explorer.

hadnt used photomatix in awhile but the upgraded to 6 and it is so easy to use. open program, drag images, process, close the image you were working on and bam a window opens up that says "drag and drop here"  they got it down

    In the Mac version I can drag a photo to my Luminar icon on the menu bar which will open Luminar with the image. Do you have anything equivalent, like a desktop icon, you can use? It may work the same way.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the feedback - I will pass it to our developers.

    Just to confirm, the app you are referring to is Aurora HDR 2018 and you are on a Windows operating system?

    yes ahdr2018, windows 10

    besides these drawbacks it is a wonderful program and i much prefer the out put looks to photomatix, but it is so tedious to work with when having to process many images. to many dialogues when trying to open a new set after working on one

    charles the drag and drop onto the icon does not work. so i have to go through all that work just to open a new set

    Hi Chris,

    You should be able to open images by dragging them directly onto the Aurora HDR 2018 application in the Windows Taskbar, but the caveat is that Aurora must already be launched/open.  Let me know if that helps or works for you.

    that works only if another image is not open. of course it works after launching the program and no image has been processed and saved

    workflow

    open aurora>drag images in> process > export images

    now to work on the next set i have to close the program and reopen it otherwise if i go to file> open i get "save changes?" > "dont save> explorer window opens so now i have to go hunt down the bracketed images, TEDIOUS 

    photomatix, open images> process> close image> dialog box appears that says "drag images here" so simple
