About Aurora HDR 2019:
Skylum’s Quantum HDR Engine harnesses the power of AI for a more streamlined editing experience than ever before. It reduces burned-out colors, loss of contrast, noise and unnatural lighting caused by halos and unstable deghosting.

The Quantum HDR Engine has taken three years to create within Skylum’s AI lab, and contains the vast knowledge of the development team paired with artificial intelligence to bring you seamless HDR editing, be it with a single image or multiple bracketed shots.

Skylum’s developers tested thousands of bracketed shots through a neural network, and used the results to develop the technology needed for creating incredible HDR photographs – whether it’s real estate, landscape, cityscape or any other type of HDR photography.

New Quantum HDR Engine
LUTs support with 11 New Integrated LUTs

Totally unconfirmed Panasonic FF specs coming soon on 43rumors

Just a heads up:

Over the weekend I got the possible Panasonic FF specs from a completely anonymous source. I was not able to verify the rumor with trusted sources. I will therefore post them on 43rumors at 12:00 London time with a low ranked FT2 mark.
I hope my trusted sources will be able to shortly after tell me if the info is correct or not.

Readers should please know these specs are yet unverified ok?

Thanks
