Macphun announced they are working "digital asset managemer".

Macphun sometimes offer synergies to Apple's Photos app, but on OS High Sierra, they look give-up the expansion to Photos app or Apple may shut out with some technical reasons.
I often adjusted the brightness with Photos app because it was near effect to printed photos by general  developing services. New Photos app take various functions but AI got worse than before. So I don't use Photos any more.
Adobe Lightroom is always competitor for Macphun's Luminor or Aurora, meh I'm not interested in Adobe app because I was annoyed so much with them in my student days. However, When I think about useful photo managements, Synergy between Photos and Apple Cloud services or new Lightroom CC, I can't ignore them. So I expect Machun's new challenge!

Process from RAW Images with New Aurora HDR 2018

I'm usually satisfied with Fuji Film JPEG Film Simulation since it is low noise and nice color, but not in some situations with some prime lenses. In this case, these images wrere taken under strong sun light, then tint and shade got flat. So I tried processing with New AuroraHDR 2018.

Happily, new Aurora HDR 2018 features fix lens distortion effect. I'm eager for it on Luminar app.
After processing Aurora. Changed color temperature + slightly. Sky color isn't natural fuji bulue, but I think better.
Original Velvia. ISO800 -0.33ev f/13 SS1/1800. Too white...


After same process. I think texture of building got thick.

Original Velvia. XF23mmF1.4. 0ev ISO800 f/6.4 SS1/1600. Not bad but boring...

説明を追加

Original Velvia. XF23mmF1.4. ISO800 f/9 SS1/1700

Fuji's JPEG is very low noise, but RAW images processed with app got noisy. Therefore it is necessary noise reduction on Aurora or other app.
