Aurora HDR
Aurora HDR is a specialized HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo editor developed by Macphun in collaboration with renowned HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff. It is designed to help photographers of all skill levels create striking HDR images by combining multiple exposures or processing single shots with advanced tone-mapping algorithms. The app offers a full suite of HDR tools including exposure blending, selective editing, and preset-based workflows. It is widely used by both hobbyists and professional photographers who want to produce vivid, detailed images with extended tonal range and natural-looking results.

1 suggestionWe could not confirm from the search results whether a native Apple Silicon build of Aurora HDR exists. The limited information available shows references to older versions (1.2.6 and 1.2.7) with no clear architecture details or recent updates from the developer. Macphun (now part of Skylum) has released newer versions of Aurora HDR in recent years, but their current native Apple Silicon support status is unclear. We recommend visiting the official Skylum website or contacting their support directly to ask whether your version of Aurora HDR runs natively on Apple Silicon, or whether an update is available. If the developer has discontinued support or has no plans for a native build, consider alternatives like DxO PhotoLab or Affinity Photo, both of which offer native Apple Silicon support and capable HDR and advanced editing tools.
