Development of the new SNS-HDR version (macOS)

[Sebastian Nibisz]

My most important improvement would be a finer selection option when using the Masking selection Tools it feels like you need another couple of levels above Very High precision selection or even better a slider from 1% to 100% where you could really finely make mask selections with extremely subtle differences in pixels being recognized to make the selection.

SNS-HDR Studio will use depth information to enhance masking tools, allowing selections to better follow image structure and separation.

I’d like to share a bit more about the direction of the new version and officially introduce its name:
SNS-HDR Studio.

The name reflects an important shift. The new version is not just an update to the existing tool, but a more general image-editing environment, designed around a new processing engine and a more flexible editing model.

Hey Sebastian, does this important shift mean you are abandoning Windows, especially in light of your statement that

professionals prefer MAC

[Sebastian Nibisz]

I'm not abandoning Windows, but I can't develop two applications simultaneously. I had to choose a platform.

Sebastian, thank you for clarifying the position

I'm glad to hear that a new and improved Mac native version will be out soon. I've been using SNS Pro since around 2013 and have recently switched to an M5 Pro Macbook Pro. The ARM processors are super fast. This will keep me from having to switch back and forth between my Mac and PC.

I like SNS the way it is, and any additional functionality you choose to add would be welcomed. The only thing that I request is that the software not become subscription based like a lot of others have chosen to do. This would be a deal breaker for me.

Thank you Sebastian, and keep up the fantastic work! If you need a beta tester I'd be glad to help!
