I love SNS-HDR and use it almost exclusively. However, I was surprised to read in the second edition of Christian Bloch's HDRI Handbook that he lists it as providing automatic ghost removal and gives it two out of three stars. He reviews the Pro versions but says that the only difference from the Home version I use is batch or serial processing. But I wonder if the Home version also lacks the Pro level deghosting? I ask because this is the only area apart from CA control in which I find SNS-HDR seriously inadequate.
So just as I have to use ACR to remove chromatic aberration, I now use Photomatix to remove ghosts. This really does complicate my workflow and somewhat vitiates the delightful simplicity of SNS-HDR's controls!
Question; Is deghosting better/different in Pro/Home versions? If it is, I want to buy an upgrade!
Second question; BUT, if I do, will I later get a free upgrade to the "coming any day now" new version to replace V1.4? or should I wait?
Third question; If Home/Pro are the same w.r.t. deghosting, will the "coming any day now" version do better?
