Ohanaware Co., Ltd. is very proud to announce the immediate release of “HDRtist NX2 2.0.1”; a substantial update to their line of High Dynamic Range Imaging software for the macOS operating system. NX2 is the fourth revision, in the HDRtist family of applications which Ohanaware started back in 2009. This version is a complete rewrite of the prior “HDRtist NX” application, allowing for a significantly improved engine, modern interface, and extendable functionality.
WHATS CHANGED
Generating the HDR is now done on the CPU rather than the GPU.
Certain RAW files go through additional conversion to be 100% compatible with the rest of the workflow.
Improved the performance of aligning JPEG images.
Aligned JPEG images are now stored as lossless JPEG, rather than TIFF files.
Fixed a bug whereby the “Regenerate HDR” button was active when it shouldn’t be.
Fixed a bug in the “1-Click Styles” menu item on the “View” menu.
Fixed a bug where the “Smoothing” slider in Highlights & Shadows Pro wasn’t updating when undoing.
Fixed a bug where the document window wasn’t disconnecting from the internal notifications system.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT DETAIL
8th Generation tone mapping engine, “Polaris” was designed to bring out the tiniest of details.
128-Bit unclamped precision workflow; up to 32,000 times more precision than regular photo apps, helps to maintain detail & color.
Tone mapping to the edge; increases the amount of detail visible in high contrast areas.
Edge enhancement; makes the edges sharper, stand out more; or makes them softer & more natural.
Dehaze Extra; reveals more detail in the sky and other light areas of the image.
Optional 1-Slider editing, changing the look of the HDR with only one slider.
Highly optimized; HDRtist NX2 can process a 20 megapixel HDR on a 1.1Ghz 2015 MacBook in 14 seconds.
