Taking a career in the field of real estate, we know how real estate photography matters in a prospective transaction, it can grasp clients’ eyes easily and win us chances to move forward to a next round of talks. But we are not photography professionals and cannot afford expensive cameras to create close-to-perfect photos. And it needn’t to be so, a piece of HDR software is all what we need to process real estate photos.

Today, I am not going to give a long list, but only to give the best—AURORA HDR, it is easy to use but powerful to enhance your photos.

What is Aurora HDR?

Firstly, let’s have a basic knowledge about HDR. HDR (High Dynamic Range), it means a greater range of luminosity than standard photos. In a standard photo, the brightness is confined to a fixed range, when the brightness reaches beyond the range, the objects in your photo becomes invisible, either appears to be pure white in the bright area or to be pure white in the dark area. But HDR, with a wider range of brightness, it makes all objects in the photo visible and presented with enhanced (color and brightness) quality.

Aurora HDR is designed to enhance photo quality with HDR, making your flawed photos natural-looking or adding ultra-creative flavors to your ordinary photos. There are multiple HDR looks offered: essential (natural, vivid, detailed, bright sun, glowing, deep, tonal compression, high contrast, fix dark, modesto), landscape, artistic, architecture, dramatic, Trey Ratcliff, Serge Ramelli and Randy Van Duinen looks tailed for different photography styles. With several clicks, Aurora can AI enhance your photos or you can configure the setting to control more details.
