Will be available soon.

You must install and regiser SNS-HDR 1.4.22

The image is darker because the lights are better recovery.

Redcrown wrote:Shadow detail in 2.0 is less than in 1.x. If I raise shadows in 2.0 to match detail of 1.x, the effect extends too far into midtones.

Shadows slider works differently because the source images are darker.

Redcrown wrote:V2.0 produces increased saturation over 1.x. A saturation adjustment of about -20 in 2.0 equals the default of 1.x.

It should be the other way around, can you show an example?

This is an old option for removing ghost with a new name.

The interface properties is not yet saved.

Wow, speed really seems to have significantly increased - that's awesome!!!

The command line interface - and hence, more importantly the LR plugin - seems not to be supported right now.
Any plans to add this soon, Sebastian?

Hi Sebastian!

Will the automatic white balance correction be implemented soon?
Worked great in the old Version

Thanks for your answer

Not for me. I find that I need to adjust curves and saturation slightly with v.2 but with 1.x the Default was just about right. (But this may be a quirk, I have not tried many bracketed sets as yet.)

BTW, the new interface is excellent.

In the next Alpha version, at the end of next week.

What about noise reduction? It would be great if you could add this as well.
Best, Frank

The noise reduction will be added as the last, I have yet to implement the algorithm on the GPU.

Thanks Sebastian!!

Many thanks for the long awaited update!

A new algorithm for the ghost removing was not included because I'm not happy with it. Copying areas with darker exposure strongly increases the noise.

Well, this was to be expected and happens in all programs. However, I would like to see and judge myself, since it depends on the camera and shooting parameters as well. And if I can trade noise for ghosts I'd rather have noise, especially since I can pre-process the images accordingly.

Thanks. Great that it will be implemented.
