Raw file processing is still quite slow and the conversion quality seems okay but doesn’t bowl me over. The list of cameras supported for Raw files has increased to 1020 (from 890). I have no idea what the limit is in HDR Projects 5. At 32 bits per channel for three channels, that would require over 8 GB. Maximum resolution is said to be increased to 714 megapixels (16- and 32-bit file formats only). That 18 stops is a range of shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 60 seconds 33 stops is ludicrous. The prior limit of 55 at least had a reasonable numerical basis: at ⅓ stop intervals that was 18 stops, which combined with 14-bit Raw files gives the full 32-bit range that the program works in. 100 bracketed images at ⅓ stop intervals covers 33 stops. The amount of memory required would be enormous, and I don’t know what improvement you could possibly get. This seems to be a nonsense specification. You can now merge up to 100 bracketed images, up from 55.
