This new and improved solution is for creatives across a range of fields. The proprietary software makes calibration simple and produces predictable results for photography, design, print and video creation.

Creatives from around the world increasingly need to not only transfer but also share through interactive way rich contents (including documents, photo, audio, video…) which are becoming larger and more frequent.

Vegas Pro produced an HEVC HDR10 video playable on any HDR TV and playable on Windows 10 computers capable of HDR (I have a 10bit, HDR monitor).

Resolve creates an Avid 10bit 4K HDR video with the correct HDR10 metadata. It plays on no hardware of any kind in HDR and does not play in HDR using any software I know about, but the file is recognized by YouTube as HDR. Resolve has no HEVC or even H264 10bit render options!

For the exact same HDR10 4K video the Vegas-produced file size was 408Kb. The Resolve-produced HDR10 4K video from the same clips was 8.6GB. Yes almost 9 gigabytes versus half a megabyte! The Vegas Pro video took 25 minutes to render, the Resolve video 7 minutes (because the file is only lightly compressed).

Here is the Resolve version:

Here is the Vegas version:

I do not see much of a difference. The Resolve video is brighter (more DR) because I was able to use the scopes to max out the DR.

I think I understand the scopes (designed specifically for HDR) and the controls in Resolve. But I understand neither in Vegas in ACES for HDR, yet (I have mastered them outside ACES and in SDR).

These HDR10 videos were both made essentially only using the built in (ACES or ResolveCM) transforms from Slog2 to HDR10 for 1000nits screens with little tweaking by me, except for increasing the DR a bit in Resolve.

Skylum Software is excited to open pre-orders for the fourth major version of its award-winning HDR program Aurora HDR --- the most sophisticated version since being released in 2015. New users can purchase the new version for $89 and current users of Aurora HDR may upgrade for a limited time at a special price of $49 at skylum.com/aurorahdr.

Skylum's ultimate goal is to give photographers an easy-to-use yet powerful tool to create vivid, captivating, and incredibly dynamic images. The company is to deliver on that goal with the all-new Aurora HDR --- an impressive HDR photo editing tool that blends power and intelligent technology with intuition and a seamless workflow.

With a press of the button, you get amazing images that look as natural as they did when you pressed the shutter. To achieve your own creative vision, Aurora HDR's many powerful filters, tools, and Aurora HDR Looks are also on hand for you to utilize. It's a capable HDR editing software designed not only for professional, experienced and beginner photographers, but also as a solution for real estate marketing.

At the core of this update is Skylum's revolutionary Quantum HDR Engine^TM^, an AI-powered tone mapping technology that's been three years in the making within Skylum's AI lab. Now, when creating an HDR image using multiple bracketed shots, Quantum HDR Engine meticulously analyzes the photos and intelligently merges them. Not only does it minimize the major issues that other HDR merging tools have, but it also generates stunning results, producing images that are dynamic yet natural-looking.

Specifically, whether you're working with bracketed shots or a single image, the Quantum HDR Engine reduces burned colors, loss of contrast, and noise, as well as mitigates unnatural lighting caused by halos and unstable deghosting. To do this, Skylum developers tested thousands of bracketed shots through a neural networkand took those findings to develop the technology needed to create incredible HDR photographs. The result is an editing software with a solid performance for even the highest end architecture and real estate photography projects.

"We are incredibly excited to get Aurora HDR 2019 into the hands of photographers from around the world. The results are so accurate and natural that the final images appear as though you're looking at the scene with your own two eyes. Simply put, it's HDR finally done right." --- Dima Sytnyk, CTO and co-founder of Skylum.

A new HDR Smart Structure technology gives you the precise amount of details, structure, and sharpness in an image without creating excess artifacts that can make an HDR image look over-the-top. This allows Aurora HDR to produce images with the incredible details and realism favored by architecture and real estate photographers.

To deliver creative color toning, perfect black and white conversions, and digital film looks in seconds, Aurora HDR 2019 also boasts new LUT mapping integration with instant preview. Utilizing the same tools used in motion pictures, you can now stylize your images through color grading, giving your images the perfect look and toning to bring out the awe in each and every one of your photos.

To give that perfect finishing touch to an image, or to create a signature look you're going for, the new Aurora HDR 2019 introduces Aurora HDR Looks to replace Presets as well as offer more selective aesthetic choices and more refined toning. Aurora HDR Looks can also include textures and masks, making for an almost infinite number of HDR editing possibilities.

World renowned photographers have created their signature Aurora HDR Look packs exclusively for Aurora HDR 2019, among which are Aurora HDR Looks for Real Estate by Randy Van Duinen, and signature Aurora HDR Looks from Trey Ratcliff, co-developer of Aurora HDR 2019, and Serge Ramelli.

All in all, Aurora HDR 2019 is designed to create the natural-looking HDR images without the need for a complicated workflow. Whether you're working with a single exposure or twelve bracketed shots, Aurora HDR 2019 gets it done.

Aurora HDR 2019 is available for pre-order starting September 12th. Pre-orders include bonus downloadable content and costs $89 for a new purchase and $49 for an upgrade. When released on October 4st, the price will jump to $99 new and $59 for an upgrade.

The bonus pack includes:

• Video tutorial "Getting the Most from Aurora HDR 2019" by Trey Ratcliff
• The Landscape Photography Handbook by David Johnston
• Exclusive interior Aurora Looks by Richard Harrington
• Burning Mood LUTs by Richard Harrington
• 3-month 500px Pro membership
• $300 OFF a multi-day Iceland Photo Tour

I am aware all this can be achieved/imported in After Effects, however AE has a certain barrier of entry that doesn't fit my definition of fast workflow. Please do not point to proprietary broadcast CG software priced $$$.

Excire Inc. today announced the immediate U.S. availability of Excire Search and Excire Search Pro, Lightroom plug-in software. Excire is a powerful image-retrieval and annotation plug-in that uses proprietary Artificial Intelligence for pattern-recognition and deep learning technologies. Excire is ideal for use by amateur and professional photographers, stock photo agencies, photo-sharing websites, professional photo-labs and others who rely on industry-standard Lightroom Catalogs as integral to their standard workflow.

In turn, images are tagged with any of five hundred built-in keywords (125 keywords for Excire Search). Appropriate images can quickly be retrieved or used for subsequent searches based on example images or desired keyword content entered by the software. Both the Excire Search and Pro plug-ins reside on a user's own computer, there is no need for lengthy cloud transfers or even access to very large files. The Excire interface is intuitive and easy-to-use so even occasional users will find it helpful.
