Hi, I installed the new version (Windows) and I like it but it would be nice if we could tell the program not to make the decision on how the created HDR file should look like. You could give the option to the users to deactivate the automatic rendering. I prefer to decide by myself how the file should look like.

Also there is still a lot of differences between the Mac and Windows version and samething with Luminar. Last year I bought Aurora 2018 and asked for a refund because of the differences between each platform and I tought that after a year it would be the same but I realise that its not the case at all. Thank you

  Hi Jacques! 
  You are right, the new algorithms are applied to any picture, nevertheless, you can always adjust the final result with all the filters.

  Regarding differences between the Mac and Windows versions, there are only minor ones. Which differences, in particular, are you referring to?

  Hi Anastasia, concerning the algorithms I know I can modify the filters, it was just a suggestion that maybe you could give the users the option of not having the software do the process.
  Concerning the differences for example the Top and Bottom horizontal shift does not work and its been like this for a while, you cannot duplicate a layer or a filter. Options like those that I can see when I watch videos made on a Mac. I must say though that the options included in Aurora 2019 are much better than one year ago and I hope you will soon provide updates for Windows. Thank you Jacques

  @Jacques, I'll forward this request to our technical department, we've received quite a lot of requests to make Tone-Mapping an optional feature. Regarding the Top and Bottom filter, I can confirm that we are going to change this one in Aurora HDR 2019 for Windows quite soon.

  I have watched some tutorials for Aurora 2019 on YouTube. During these videos I saw the very helpful function / button "Set Orientation" at the filter "Adjustible Gradient". I´m using a Windows PC. The filter is there but the button is missing. Is this feature Mac only?

  Hi Nico! You are right, at the moment there is no Set Orientation button on Windows. We will do our best to bring both versions to parity in the nearest future.
