Today we’re very pleased to announce the latest release of HDRtist. Version 1.1 adds the #1 requested feature, which is Image Alignment. We’ve tapped into align_image_stack, a very powerful automatic image alignment tool. Simply click the “Align Photos” button and HDRtist will automatically figure out and align the images for you. This means that HDR’s taken without a tripod can now be used in HDRtist, making the whole HDR photo taking process simpler.

The update weighs in at 5.5 mb compressed and can be downloaded by clicking on the following link.
