I've just finished testing Aurora HDR Pro 1.2.2 standalone app and Editing Extension for Photos for OS X, and this version includes some terrific enhancements plus additional RAW compatibility.

One of my favorite improvements is the ability to sync Favorite presets between Aurora HDR Pro standalone and the Aurora HDR Pro Editing Extension. Very nice. The RAW compatibility for new cameras includes:
- Canon 80D, 1300D, 1DX MkII
- Leica M (Typ 262)
- Nikon D5
- Olympus Pen F, SH-3
- Panasonic DMC-GX80/85, DMC-TZ80/81/85/ZS60, DMC-TZ100/101/ZS100
- Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G935F)
- Sony ILCA-68, ILCE-6300, RX1R II, RX10 III
- DxO ONE Digital Camera
- Fujifilm X-Pro2
To complement all of the powerful slider tools, there are dozens of presets to help you get your image on the right track.
Aurora HDR Pro is a wonderful Editing Extension for Photos for OS X. In addition to being a robust HDR processor, the software includes many advanced sliders such as Top & Bottom Lighting, Tone Curve, Layer Control, and Denoise. Plus, it features seven categories of presets, which is a great way to figure out the starting point for your editing.
