This is a great addition to the software. Tone Compression, Local Contrast, Exposure, and Saturation/Vibrance sliders are just a few of the many options available to make changes to the HDR creation, far superior to other software which give just basic options, if anything. HDR does feature in other image editing software that compete with Affinity Photo but Serif has made some good inclusions in the form of Tone Mapping controls.
