I received another email about HDR Darkroom and a 1.2 release of the mac beta. Here is the landing page for the download and specs.

I never posted about the 1.0 version of the Mac Beta because I never received an answer back from the developer about why it wouldn’t load on my macs (despite meeting the required specs). Unfortunately the same is true for this 1.2 update. I have only bothered to try and load it on my macs. It still will not load on either my MacPro or iMac running (both running 10.4.11).
I’ve submitted another email to the developer about the inability to launch the program and I will report back once the problem has been solved. I realize it is a relatively new app and likely a small dev team so I am willing to at least mention it here on the blog despite the app not loading and the developer being non-responsive to previous support requests.
Until I can get a response from the developer I will continue to use Essential HDR on my PC http://www.imagingluminary.com which is currently the gold standard for realistic tonemapping.
Essential HDR is also in beta testing on the Mac and I will report when it is available and out of beta.
