In this video Jim Nix shows you how to create HDR images from JPEG or PNG files in Aurora HDR 2017. He explains the difference in quality when using JPEG or PNG files compared to RAW but also shows how to gain some of that quality back through HDR edits. When some quality is lost from using a JPEG photo, such as the details of clouds in a sunset sky, Jim explains how you can bring back some of those details by smoothing it out with the Denoise tool. And also, by selected ghost reduction in the importing process.
