You will also find information about your GPU’s make, model, memory, and driver version (if available) in this section. To do this, check the Use GPU for image processing checkbox. The GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) section, which you can access by clicking on its banner, lets you use your computer’s video card to perform calculations related to image processing, thus relieving the load on the main processor. * Changes take effect when you open HDR Efex Pro 2 the next time.įor each of the display options above, if you select Use last setting, the setting from the previous session will automatically be applied.

Merge Dialogue Preview Quality: The Quick and Precise options both let you generate a faster but lower quality preview or a better quality preview that will take longer.

You can enable or disable the correction, but we recommended that you correct this beforehand on the original images in the host program.

Chromatic Aberration*: Chromatic aberration occurs in the form of colored fringes along elements with strong backlighting, and this phenomenon can be amplified when merging images.

The higher the value, the more effective the reduction, but the presence of artifacts and noise in the image will be proportionately higher.

Ghost Reduction Strength*: There are 5 levels of ghost reduction - 20% to 100%.

Ghost Reduction*: Enables or disables the processing of elements or moving subjects in the sequence of images to be merged.

Alignment*: Enables or disables the alignment of images that have not been shot on a stable, stationary surface or with a tripod.
