Fast forward to 2018, updates have been rolling in for Luminar and the brand new Aurora HDR 2019 is going to be ready for download in early October.īoth programs offer the ability to import your RAW or JPEG files from any camera model and produce a variety of creative outcomes whether it’s simple adjustments or all out advanced HDR results. First launching Aurora HDR back in 2015, the program has since had a number of updates and Skylum partnered with well-known HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff to make it ideal for both professionals and amateurs alike.įollowing on with the launch of Luminar, a Lightroom alternative, in November 2016, Skylum quickly became a force on the editing scene due it’s user friendly programs. Initially developing mobile video and photo editing apps under the name Macphun (which were consistently named within the ‘Best iphone Apps’ each year), Skylum is now best known for its programs Luminar and Aurora HDR. Let’s get started with a little background on Skylum Software. It’s a major part of the creative process and who am I to say this is how you should edit…instead I always think it’s best to play around with various techniques, software and to discover your own editing approach naturally because it is all part of the fun! It’s also best to be aware of all the options available to you and be open to new workflow solutions, hence the reason I’m sharing this article with you. You’ll notice I don’t share much about editing on this site and that’s because I believe every photographer has a different preference in terms of how they go about their post processing. It’s also timely because Aurora HDR 2019 has just been released! (Scroll down for a discount code!). The programs are very affordable in comparison to the Adobe subscriptions so it’s well worth having a little peek and seeing if it could work for you. The names immediately had me intrigued and after spending some time trialling the programs recently I wanted to share some screenshots and a review with you here on The Wandering Lens. Let me introduce you to Luminar and Aurora HDR by Skylum Software. However, the big news cruising through photography circles is that now, there’s a new kid on the block and they’re already proven to be producing professional standard programs. Ever since I’ve been a photographer I’ve only known and used two editing programs, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.
