We get asked two questions a lot:

• What is the best Mac HDR software?
• What is the best free HDR software?

Hdr Photo Editing Software

While obviously those are two questions that are going to have very different answers, there is one piece of software that we’ve been using which has really surprised me, HDRtist.

Best HDR Software - FDRTools Basic. FDRTools Basic is the HDR software to create high-quality tone-mapped images for free. If you are a newbie to HDR photographs, you can use the Basic version first. Of course, you can also upgrade to FDRTools. Aurora HDR software comes from Skylum – the company that strives to make professional grade image editing as simple as it can. Aurora HDR is a great tool for creating HDR images quickly, giving them a more natural look than many other HDR processors would. With the new version of Aurora HDR, you get its excellent Batch Processing feature. HDR projects 5 is part of the “projects” image-editing suite by FRANZIS. Download today and save 100%.

HDRtist is super minimalist free HDR software for Macs. When I first installed it and started processing a few images I thought I was missing something. You drag your images into the program and have a slider for strength. That’s it.

The first time I fired it up I had to download some additional software for HDR alignment, but it wasn’t a big deal. After that, it’s as simple as drag, drop, slide, go.

I honestly don’t believe there is any other easier way to create an HDR photo composite than HDRtist. This is as simple as it gets.

So now the question remains, how on earth can a piece of software that simple be any good? Well it all depends on your market, and what you’re trying to do with it.

There are a lot of people out there who consider their iPhone to be all they need to create amazing photographs. This is the perfect software for that set of people. The ones who don’t care about customization, they don’t care about the small details, they just want to make a more dramatic photo.

Photo Quality

If you have Photomatix or HDR Efex Pro, are you going to want this? Probably not. It is extremely fast and easy, but the results certainly aren’t on the same level.

I found the images to be much softer and details to be much less pronounced. I really missed the ability to adjust clipping, gamma and black/white balance, because there just wasn’t enough depth to get the desired effects straight out of the box.

That said, if you already have Photoshop and don’t want to deal with the finicky HDR Pro tools built in, this could potentially be a good option. For straight out of the box HDR processing, it really isn’t bad. You just need to have a tool that you can use to edit the details – and Photoshop is perfect for this.

Hdr Bracketing Software

HDRtist also gives you the option to edit the photos further in “funtastic photos”. I clicked on it and was prompted download the free trial. I don’t know about you, but anything labeld “funtastic photos” is enough to make me know that I’m not going to like what they have to offer.

The colors are all over the place, but the detail in the bricks is pretty impressive.

However once again, this brings us back to the fact that this isn’t HDR software for diehard photographers. This is for the iPhone set, or those that aren’t looking at every intricacy of a photo. They just want something that looks cooler than their friends traditional photos.

I found the image alignment to be pretty hit and miss. If you took a handheld shot, then you’re going to have a difficult time with HDRtist. While the image alignment for the most part isn’t bad, it is definitely not on par with some of the premium pieces of software.

Free Hdr Software Mac Os

Recommended?

If you are looking for free HDR software for a Mac, I personally think this is the best thing out there. While you essentially have no customization options, the final results I received were pretty good for free, and it doesn’t get any easier than this to process HDR.

It isn’t worth your time if you have any premium HDR software and are happy with it however.

EasyHDR without question, produces much Better results than I was ever able to produce with Photomatix. Over the years I have tried a lot of editing programs. EasyHDR has outperformed them all. The results look more like what I saw with my own eyes when I snapped the shutter. The Best shadow detail, more natural looking color and accurate color, too! The results are like night and day to Photomatix. EasyHDR is more reasonably priced. And for the quality of the edited image, less costly than nearly all editing software. Easier to use. Produces the finished edit in much less time. I have not found a program that will produce a better picture to print, of Landscapes, Nature & Wildlife, Portraits, Architectural and Interiors. Photomatix is just not this versatile. Considerable time has been spent making comparisons, as I feel it is my responsibility as a working photographer, to provide to my clients and customers, the Best Quality Image I can. And because I take pride my work, and I Enjoy photographing the Beauty that God has given us, and sharing these Joys with others!

Thank You, Bartek, for providing a program that helps me accomplish this desire. You have done a very Good thing, and I appreciate your accomplishments! You have made photography more Enjoyable and Rewarding, Bartek!
