We worked really hard on improving our HDR application Hydra. We wish you to enjoy HDR photography even more now, could it be artistic or photorealistic.

What's New in Hydra 3?

• Brand new tone mapper
• 12 tone mapping presets available
• Automatic or zone-based ghost removal
• X-Ray-based alignment editing for accurate positioning
• Scope based adjustments to target only bright or dark areas, red, green, or blue tones
• Probe-based adjustments (Pro version only)
• Batch processing (Pro version only)
• More new features on this page

Judge by yourself how good Hydra's HDR images actually are by trying the demo version (Hydra Express - Hydra Pro). There's neither use limit nor time limit to the demo versions. More information about both versions of Hydra here.
