About This App

HDR Efex Pro is a specialized photo editing tool from Nik Software (now owned by DxO) designed to process and enhance high dynamic range (HDR) images. It creates HDR effects from single or multiple exposures, merges bracketed shots, applies tone mapping and local contrast enhancement, and provides fine control over shadows, highlights, and overall image tonality. Photographers and retouchers use it to recover detail in blown-out skies, bring up dark areas, and create compelling HDR-style images whether working with true HDR files or single shots. HDR Efex Pro is part of the Nik Collection suite alongside Silver Efex Pro (black-and-white conversion) and other specialized filters.

HDR Efex Pro has been available as a native Apple Silicon build since Nik Collection 6 (released in 2023). If you are running an older version of the Nik Collection under Rosetta, update to the latest release to get the native build, which will deliver noticeably better performance and battery life on M-series Macs. The easiest way to update is to visit the DxO website (dxo.com), log into your account, and download the current Nik Collection installer for Mac. If you originally installed via the Mac App Store, check the App Store for available updates instead. After updating, your existing presets, U Points selections, and other settings will carry over automatically.
