HDRtist Updated; Gains New HDR Features

Press relase
Ohanaware announced HDRtist 1.1, a free update to their HDR Photography software for Mac OS X. HDRtist creates HDR photos and tone maps them in a single step. Its workflow has been designed to be effortless in operation, and to provide visually pleasing results. HDRtist is a great tool to have for dramatizing dull photos, livening dark photos and much more.
What’s New In Version 1.1
The flagship feature of HDRtist 1.1 is the Automatic Image Alignment feature. At a click of the button, HDRtist is able to align images. This feature allows HDR photographers to shoot HDR images without a tripod. HDRtist uses the align_image_stack module from the open source Hugin project. The HDR generation engine has been re-written making it faster and to help it provide richer and punchier results. Other bug fixes include the notorious ‘white boxes’ bug and the crash that could occur when trying to open unsupported images.
Pricing and Availability
HDRtist is available today as freeware. The Funtastic Photos promotion is available from today, throughout the month of October 2009. 20% off reduces the price of a single user license even further from $34.99 down to $27.99.
System Requirements
HDRtist requires a Power Macintosh G5 or Intel based Macintosh computer, running Mac OS X v 10.4 or later. It is recommended to have at least 1 GB of RAM.
