![]() Personally, I am most concerned at the core functions of being able to open RAW files, merge exposure bracketing without ghosting and combine them into as a result that has the best tonal gradation possible. I have been using Machinery HDR Effects since March 2014 and ever since then there have been frequent updates with additional features that can be useful. The software then goes through the process of doing so and can take some time, but that is not a problem as no interaction is required once you reach that stage. Only when you have finished making adjustments need you have those settings applied to the full size image. This makes adjustments work much faster and the interaction as you move the controls is very good, usually close to instantaneous. Normally you work on a preview of the image with all the features in it except that it is cut down to less pixels. Then if you decide to remove that restriction, it will only cost you a moderate sum. The trial version limits the output to files whose long dimension is 1280 pixels but otherwise it is fully functional. Machinery HDR Effects is a very good product and attractively priced. I need none of these because I always go into Photoshop afterwards to make local changes and prefer to do things like that there. This review is essentially based upon version 2.9 but there is little to the basics that has changed up to 3.0.25 issued this month, except those additional features that come along regularly like sharpening and correction of chromatic aberration. ![]()
