Merge your images  and reveal every detail

Great HDR images begin with multiple photos of the same subject, all taken with different exposures using a camera’s bracketing function.

Nik HDR Efex does all the calculations and takes out the effort of merging multiple exposures to produce dramatic HDR photos that are both stunning and natural-looking.

In this real estate photo, by balancing interior and exterior light, the image feels natural and gives viewers a sense of what lies beyond the windows.

“A quick and easy way to create HDR images.”
