PRIME and DeepPRIME process too slowly to be performed in real time. The only NR you see in the preview is from the conventional HQ NR. But used when it's meant to be used, and it's great. Thanks a lot to all who cared to read this.ĬVP needs to be used with a light touch (eg, usually 20% or less), and is best avoided in really noise pics, portraits, etc.
Because if I can get the same results without DxO PureRaw, I don't have to invest, but just can stay with my monthly payments. Because I'd really want to leave the monthly subscription, but only it that also improves the quality of my photo's.Īlso, tips to use Lightroom are also welcome.
Does anyone experience the same issues with PhotoLab 5 or can point out that I'm doing something wrong? Why are the two dehazing technologies so different in both softwares? Or maybe, maybe there are other RAW editing software packages that are even better than Lightroom OR DxO's PhotoLab 5. But with substantiating my experience your answer may be more useful.
That's a bit of a downside, because I keep paying monthly to Adobe for it, rather than invest a one time fee to DxO and 'never' ever have to watch my finance again.įorgive me for writing a text this long (I like writing). So until this point my conclusion is that I have to by DxO PureRaw and keep using Lightroom. With DxO you have to work with control points, the not so intelligent Auto Mask and adjusting Chroma an Luminance to the point where it almost but not completely selects your subject. With that you can direct the attention of the view to your subject in minutes. The AI in Lightroom is so great it lets you select the subject with just 1 click. Last aspect I think is a big downside is the ease of Lightroom applying local adjustments. It is too difficult to edit photo's where you can only see the outcome when you've processed it. But when I export, the noise is often gone, or much less there. When I edit my photo, sometimes the noise in the preview explodes to everywhere in my photo. Preview Example does not show actual outcomeĪnother big downside are the previews.
Clearview Plus is definitely crappy and creates so much noise when you overstep it. Until now I find it impossible to edit my photo after I got it sharpened right. Dehazing, microcontrast, texture, color handling. The pictures came out more crisp than Lightroom as standalone can produce.īut then I went on with all the other aspects I love Lightroom for. Of course, these aspects kept being great. So I tried PhotoLab 5, which uses the same sharpening and denoising algorithms as PureRaw. But it still required Lightroom and therefor, a monthly subscription. And sure enough, the sharpness of my birds improved drastically.
So I asked how?! And the response was: DxO PhotoLab 5.įirst I tried the DxO PureRaw technology which I then used as a pre-sharpener before I went to Lightroom.
The main reason is that I saw people posting pictures of birds with the same lens I have that were definitely sharper than mine. This approach has resulted in the perfect restoration of the grain, color, contrast, and saturation of 60 legendary color and black & white films, with an authenticity that has been recognized by today’s greatest photographers.Ħ5 original renderings and effects to bring out photographers’ artistic senseĭominant colors, blur, pinhole, vignetting, and grain: each new DxO FilmPack designer rendering is based on a careful calibration of grain intensity, contrast, and saturation of film, vignetting, and color filters to lend photos a unique atmosphere.Currently I am evaluating photo editing software outside of Adobe products.
To accurately reconstitute the characteristics of such traditional films as Kodak Ektachrome, Fuji Superia, and Agfa APX, DxO Labs adopted a scientific approach based on taking photos with analog films, having those films developed at highly-reputable professional laboratories - PICTO in France and Duggal in the United States - and following a rigorous digitization process.
