I believe I picked this one up from Franzis directly -- it was in November 22 anyway.

For those wondering, here are the RAW formats supported out of the box:

Turns out my post yesterday on HDR was timely -- obviously I won't bother you by going into the basics of what HDR photos are. HDR projects 7 is Franzis' take on working with or creating them, and the best thing I can say about the app [just IMHO] is that [Thankfully] it takes a few baby steps back from its history of defining HDR as garish & FX-laden. Otherwise the program's design seems *to me* inspired by Rube Goldberg [ nrm[.]org/2018/11/the-art-and-wit-of-rube-goldberg/ ], because in trying to save you from actually having to edit a photo, it gets [needlessly] terribly complicated -- far more complicated than just editing the photo in the first place. [I can't help but think of how for years manufacturers of home appliances made them needlessly complicated, because the satisfaction that came from mastering the controls led to increased sales.]
Since HDR photos use [merge] 2 or more shots, they do have to be lined up if there was any movement between shots. And in if there was any movement, the software tries to fix any object edges that don't align perfectly [ghosting]. HDR projects 7 handles that well enough, giving you more control than most other HDR capable apps. Most of the other controls &/or features however, serve to brighten/darken &/or emphasize different parts of the photo, where you make settings to fine tune automatic processes, but unfortunately learning and using them is [IMHO Much] harder than doing the same things in a decent image editing app. And that's where another shortcoming becomes apparent -- if you want to save your merged HDR photo you can only save the project, not the photo itself, which can only be exported as a regular, non-HDR image. So you have to use the overly complicated tools in HDR projects 7, though in fairness they do include some of the other tools you'd likely use in image editing software -- they kinda have to since it prevents you from using that software.
At a bit over 400MB HDR projects 7 is large for a Franzis app -- I stuck it on one of my conventional hard disks that I use for storage, keeping it solely because I experiment from time to time using FX not as they were intended. In addition to the program's folder, HDR projects 7 adds files/folders to Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\. The setup.exe file comes without a wrapper this time, comes with 32_bit & 64-bit versions, does not include plugins, but does include 2008 & 2010 C/C++ runtimes from Microsoft -- I normally install in a VM, then copy the program's folder to my regular copy of Windows to avoid the accumulated bloat from having umpteen copies of the same runtimes installed [FWIW, check the size of the Windows\ WinSxS\ folder where they're stored].
