More style choices for realistic results

A new HDR style called Tone Balancer gives you more options for achieving a realistic look. You can access it via the 'Realistic' preset.

Refining with more control over color

With the new interactive Brush and Lasso tools, you can make color changes to just parts of the image by painting over those areas. You can also adjust the saturation, hue, and brightness of individual colors.

Blending options

If you want a more realistic look, you can blend your original photo with the HDR image. You can also use the brush and lasso tools to blend or replace specific areas with the original, or another exposure from the bracketed set.

Straightening Tool

If the horizon isn't level or vertical objects like buildings aren't vertical, you can quickly straighten your photo and fix perspective issues. The tool is part of the Finishing Touch palette.

Selective White Balance new in v6.1

When processing bracketed sets of RAW images, you can assign a different white balance to the brighter and the darker images.

Color scheme options new in v6.1

You can choose between a Dark or Light color scheme for the user interface. By default, the scheme is set to Light, though the interface where you adjust and finish the image is always under a Dark scheme.
