About Hydra HDR PlugIn for Aperture
Uses a number of regular photographs (up to ten) with different exposures (darker and lighter) to create a superior one which is much closer to what one’s eye can see. This is because a single photograph cannot represent the full gamut of light because of physical limitations in the sensor. This process is also known as a high dynamic range, or HDR, imaging. See the screencast tutorials for more information on how to acquire such images with your camera.

The output produced by Hydra is much closer to what your eye actually sees. You don’t have to choose whether to have a beautiful sky or buildings, take 2 photos (or more) with perfect parameters for each of them, then combine them with Hydra. Many more features.
