The History drop-down is a very useful tool, as it records all the changes you make to an image up to a certain limit. I returned the image to its original state by using the History drop-down menu along the top of the menu bar: There are a range of presets that give your image a distinctive look and feel, from realistic and subtle to dramatic and extreme-it all depends how you like your HDR! One of the quickest ways to enhance your cityscapes is to use one of the many presets available. Here I have done a more vibrant blue highlights/yellow shadow shift: The color shift is quite subtle here, but you can have your colors as bold or muted as you want. This is the color toning filter panel:Īs you can see, I have changed the highlights and shadows to a magenta/yellow combination. This is where you shift the hue of the shadows and highlights, usually to complementary colors. You can have fun doing color toning on night time cityscapes in Aurora. I chose to up the contrast, drop the shadows and highlights, increase the vibe and saturation, and add a little bit of HDR Microstructure. I used HDR Enhance quite a lot, and the Smart Tone to do a lot of the heavy lifting on the image adjustments. You can see by how much I changed each category below: Just those few quick adjustments have made a difference.
The before/after image below was after a few quick adjustments in the Basic, Color, and Microstructure panels:

This is where you can start to make manual adjustments, such as exposure, shadows, highlights, HDR enhance, etc. Once you’ve loaded your image, you will see the HDR basic adjustment panel on the right-hand side of the screen. You can see that there is already a difference, and that’s before any other editing is applied: The image below shows the before/after split, with the before shot on the left and the after shot on the right.
You also have a choice to reduce chromatic aberration by using the drop-down:Ĭlick the “Create HDR” button. Tone mapping in Aurora HDR reduces noise and gives a much more realistic image, so it’s best to keep it on. As I have chosen a single image, Aurora asks if I want to create the image from this and gives a Tone Mapping checkbox option. Open Aurora HDR and choose which image(s) to open. Aurora HDR lets you use single RAW files to “re-imagine” images, so it’s great if you have old single RAW images you would like to bring up to date and give a fresh look. It is currently on sale today together with Luminar if you want to check it out.įor this tutorial, I’m going to use a single image and Aurora to create an HDR image, But for traditional HDR you would shoot and merge at least three of the same image at different exposures to end up with one unedited HDR shot. In this article we’re going to look at how Aurora HDR can take your cityscapes to the next level. Night time cityscapes can look amazing, especially when they are done in HDR.
