Hi Sebastian
I feel sad a bit to read your comment.
I am using such HDR softwares as Photomatix, easyHDR, AuroraHDR, HDR Efex, Lightroom Photo Merge, and SNS-HDR. And...I really love SNS-HDR because it can make non-HDR-like naturally restored photo-images which other HDR softwares can not output.
I often visit Retouching forum on the DPRreview site. In their topics about HDR software, SNS-HDR is always mentioned in favourable context.
https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61020451https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59632759Sometimes "Which HDR sotware do you use/like?" poll is conducted at the forum. In such poll, SNS-HDR gets about 10 % of share. It's not a bad figure compared with other HDR softwares.
IMHO, current shortage of SNS-HDR is the "lens correction" function as chromatic aberration and distortion corrections. Currrently I do HDR processing of RAW data in SNS-HDR, export to tiff image, and operate lens corrections in Lightroom. I would be really happy if SNS-HDR implemented such features using Lens-fun database or RAW-embbeded profile.
Anyway, if SNS-HDR has been unfortunately abondoned/discontinued, I will continue to use the current version of SNS-HDR until it ceases its operation for some OS-compatiblibity reason. That's all I do.
