Open the bracketing browser and point it at a folder, and HDR5 will sort the images into separate bracket groups. But HDR5 also offers a bracketing browser to make it easier to open bracketing sequences. You certainly can open the file or files that you want to work on in a conventional manner, or just drag/drop the files onto the program. HDR Projects is available in both standard and Professional editions this review is for the Professional edition. In this review, I’m going to refer to Franzis HDR Projects 5 Professional by the shorthand HDR5. I’m primarily concentrating on describing capabilities not generally available in other HDR software. From a single Raw, Ultra HDR/Daylight, absolute distance/sharp fusion, Landscape white clouds preset. Here’s a picture I processed in HDR Projects 5 Professional - maybe you can get an idea from that. I regret that my vision isn’t up to the task of giving a critical evaluation of the quality of results. For example, right now an upgrade saves a whole $10 off the $99 (USD) full price. Franzis usually releases a new version of HDR Projects in early autumn, and they don’t offer much of an upgrade discount from older versions. Note: if you do look into it, I definitely recommend you go with the 30-day trial. HDR Projects 5 Professional comes with Lightroom and Photoshop plugins, in case you prefer that to using the program standalone. But if your HDR program isn’t giving you the exact results you demand, and if you’re willing to tolerate a significant learning curve and slow response, look into HDR Projects 5 Professional. Even more patience is required because of its sluggish performance (Aurora HDR seems to have the same problem), and to deal with not having the standard “undo.”įor many (probably most) people, simpler HDR software will be sufficient and less aggravating. It offers a dizzying array of capabilities, far beyond what the popular HDR software programs offer, but that complexity will require some patience to absorb. The fifth version of Franzis HDR Projects software takes a big turn away from the “HDR look” toward more natural-looking results.
