The ‘Best of the Year’ recognition by Apple has hit us by surprise, but has showed that we are moving in the right direction. This is a big honor for all of the team. We’ll continue to work hard to achieve our big goal - to make Aurora HDR the standard of HDR image editing for all photographers, without any compromises." - says Alex Tsepko, CEO of Skylum/Macphun.
