(This is a free update for all owners of the 2018 version.) With it comes speed enhancements, faster single-file opening, Loupedeck integration (more on that in a later blog post), Windows updates (batch processing, flip\/rotate tool, etc.), better memory management (to not hog so much memory from your system while running Aurora), and an updated camera list. Below is a short list of the main updates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Speed boost for editing and adjusting:\u00a0<\/strong>The performance has been boosted across all areas of Aurora HDR 2018 1.2.0 on Windows and Mac.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast single-file opening:<\/strong>\u00a0With an improved image processing engine, Aurora HDR is now much faster when opening single files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loupedeck integration (Mac version only):<\/strong>\u00a0Now, users can quickly process photos in Aurora HDR using physical dials, knobs, and keys.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Batch processing (for Windows):<\/strong>\u00a0Aurora HDR 2018 1.2.0 will allow Windows users to edit a large number of photos simultaneously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better memory management:<\/strong>\u00a0Aurora HDR 2018 1.2.0 is also optimized to make better use of memory, with more intelligent memory management and improved stability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windows version catches up to Mac version:<\/strong>\u00a0Windows users will receive a flip\/rotate tool, bringing Aurora HDR for Windows more in line with its macOS counterpart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Updated camera list:<\/strong> The full list across both Windows and MacOS includes: Canon EOS 3000D \/ Rebel T100 \/ 4000D, FujiFilm X-H1, FujiFilm X-A20, FujiFilm X-A5, FujiFilm X-E3, Olympus E-PL9, Panasonic DC-GF10 \/ Panasonic DC-GF90,\u00a0Panasonic DC-GX9 \/ DC-GX7MK3, Panasonic DC-TZ200 \/ DC-ZS200 \/ DC-TZ202 \/ DC-TZ220 \/ DC-ZS220 \/ DC-TX2, PhaseOne IQ3 100MP Trichromatic, Sony A7 III.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/nicolesy.me\/AuroraHDR\">Aurora HDR 2018<\/a> on the Skylum website.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Loupedeck integration<\/h2>\n<p>One thing I&#8217;m excited about for the new update is the ability to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/loupedeck.com\">Loupedeck<\/a> with Aurora 2018. I haven&#8217;t been able to test this feature yet, but the folks over at Loupedeck are shipping one over to me soon so I&#8217;ll have some more info and a review to share here on the blog in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Video walkthrough<\/h2>\n<p>Curious how Aurora HDR 2018 works?
