Well SNS-HDR Lite is freeware.
As I wrote before, I use it out of laziness.
I can open RAW files in GIMP using darktable.
In GIMP I very often use the Tone mapping operator Mantiuk2006 on the copy of the layer, which adds details to the photo, grain, and deprives the dull smoothness (a way to realistically brighten the shadows).
I still use the LAB mode why I gave it in my guide.
It is true that it is in Polish, but it is so richly illustrated that everyone can know what it is about.
Effortless denoise and sharpening in the L channel.
Possible wide color correction, which we will not get in any mode.
greetings
