A Note of Video Card Requirements

On Windows, HDR 2023 requires a video card that supports OpenGL 4.2, DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.1, and DirectML, and has a minimum of 2GB or VRAM. Most video cards manufactured in the past five years meet these requirements. However, it is essential to have the latest video card drivers installed to unlock these requirements.

This free update adds several new features and enhancements as well as support for new cameras and lens profiles. It also includes bug fixes. It is recommended for all users.

What’s New

• RAW Processing Improvements — The raw processing engine has been upgraded with new internal algorithms to create more natural shadows and fewer edge artifacts.

You can now remove points, nudge points with the arrow keys via the text fields, and view a helpful histogram and improved grid in the background.

You can even choose regions to apply filters or adjustments to when you add them, making it easy to get just the adjustment you want.

It can detect and remove motion blur as well as save out-of-focus shots. Stop throwing out the perfect shot just because it’s a little soft.
