I’m merging bracketed sunset photos taken from a boat in Aurora HDR, but the sun is coming out with a large halo/glow artifact. What settings should I change to minimize this when creating the HDR image?

Use the following settings to reduce the sun halo:
1) Turn on alignment:
2) Set ghost reduction to medium and pick the darkest picture, the one with the lowest EV and smallest sun.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
For this kind of HDR merge, especially from a boat where frames may not line up perfectly, enable alignment during import/merge. Also turn on ghost reduction and set it to medium. When Aurora asks which frame to use for deghosting, choose the darkest exposure (lowest EV), since it usually has the smallest, most defined sun. That combination can significantly reduce the halo around the sun.
