HDR Efex Pro brings innovative and best in class technologies to HDR photography. HDR Efex Pro enables a wide variety of options, including single click visual style presets, as well as global adjustments such as exposure,
contrast, structure to fine detail contrast, and a new HDR Method option. This feature makes use of four tone mapping algorithms, which enable virtually unlimited HDR looks that can be adapted to a particular HDR style of photography.
Nik Softwares proprietary U Point technology is also incorporated into HDR Efex Pro, providing precise selective fine tuning of images without the need for complicated selections or layer masks. Photographers can precisely control selective adjustments with a single mouse click providing the ability to quickly create amazing results. Finishing adjustments, such as vignette controls and levels & curves, make it possible to easily accomplish a range of enhancements within HDR Efex Pro.
HDR Efex Pro also enables photographers to create popular and dramatic HDR images from a single exposure. This feature allows photographers to reprocess a single image in which an exposure series was not previously shot or for subject matter that does not lend itself to multiple exposures.
