While we’re still working hard on Fun Photo 2.0 we’ve also been working hard on a Professional version of our ever popular HDRtist. For a vast majority of people, HDRtist has been their first step into the world of HDR, providing people with an easy way to get great results. However there’s a huge gap, if you want more than HDRtist. HDR software with more control and flexibility can cost as much as $150!

Enter HDRtist Pro, which aims to provide you with more control, features and flexibility than HDRtist, wrapped up in an Ohanaware easy to use interface, all without the heft of a huge price sticker.

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.

Unfortunately several people are getting crashes when they try to run the Mac Photo Editing Software Funtastic Photos 1.0.1, a couple of people have reported an error occurring while the splash screen opens. While one customer has reported it occurs in the ThumbnailGenerator. I have posted a new preview release today with the tracking enabled so that hopefully I can narrow these down and fix’em! I’m really unhappy about these problems, because they don’t happen in our lab and they don’t happen for our testers, but when we ship… I guess we may want to do a public test version for 1.1?
