I found a threat about HDR editing but it's too old, so I think it's time to create a new one. Lots of things changed since that time.
So, Captain Kimo's list of HDR photo software suggests that https://aurorahdr.com is the best among 20 others. After visiting their website I can say they often add new features to their tool, like luminosity masking or advanced tone mapping. EasyHDR https://www.easyhdr.com also have launched their new version in May, btw available for Mac and Windows.
Concerning the rest positions, they aren't updated so regularly.
Maybe you can suggest any other novelties in the industry?
