About This App

Luminance HDR is a free, open-source tool for creating high dynamic range (HDR) images from a series of photographs of the same scene taken at different exposure levels. It automatically aligns multi-exposure photos, removes ghosting artifacts from moving objects, and blends them using one of six pre-configured algorithms or custom tone-mapping settings. The resulting HDR images can be saved in TIFF, Radiance RGBE, or OpenEXR formats. Luminance HDR is used by photographers and image editors who want to recover detail in both shadows and highlights from bracketed exposures, and it shares code with the related Hugin panorama-stitching project.

Luminance HDR 2.5.1 is not available as a native Apple Silicon build — the app runs under Rosetta 2 translation on M-series Macs today, but will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). The project is open-source and maintained on GitHub, but the maintainers have not yet shipped a native build despite several years of macOS support. Check the Luminance HDR GitHub releases page to see if a native build has been announced recently; if not, contact the developers to ask whether native Apple Silicon support is planned before the September 2028 deadline. In the meantime, if you need to process HDR images, consider alternatives like Exposure Fusion or other tone-mapping tools that already ship native Apple Silicon builds.
