It seems as if LR sends the RAW-file w/o any edits to PL5. If you’re more Lightroom focussed perhaps DXO Pure Raw workflow would be a better fit? When I’m done editing I catalogue the raw files in Lightroom. I don’t want Lightroom doing any raw development as DXO’s is far better in my experience at extracting detail and handling any noise. I went back months later and tried to get results as good in DPP again as I was getting with DxO, but coudn't without spending a great deal of time.For all of my cameras (excluding my Q2M obviously) I open the raw first in DXO Photolab and do all my edits from there. I found DxO's de-noise to be amazing - that's what really sold me on it - but also I found I could process photos using DxO in a fraction of the time it used to take in DPP, and I always got better results with DxO. I also started using Darktable to get better de-noise (DPP's de-noise I found only effective to about ISO 1600). I was a Canon DPP user previously, really liked the results I got out of it. In any case, it should be fun and educational to try. My criterion for success is that I will get some results that I will dare to publish here. I am now looking forward to spending some quality time learning how to use it soon, now that the colder and darker months of winter are closing in.Īnd for good measure, I ordered Viewpoint as well, since my favorite lenses are UWA. So - on the strength of the widespread usage of DxO software by the very knowledgeable members here, I ordered Photolab at its currently-discounted price. If you started trying it today you might be able to decide by next Monday when the DxO sale ends.Ī very reasonable and logical suggestion, but since I am away from my computer until after the sale ends, I can’t do that. You might find it straightforward to use. I think you would find that there is not as much of a learning curve with DxO as there is with other software like Adobe products. You might consider downloading DxO software and using it as full-featured free trial. I hope that some day I will be able to post the stuff here that you asked for. Thus I thank those who have provided helpful info. My comments above are not completely germane to the thread, so I apologize on that regard. Black Friday is likely to push me over the edge. In contrast, DxO gets a lot of press and mention, so my strong temptation is to acquire it and spend the time to learn it. Very few people discuss ACDSee or even mention it, so I have been reluctant to put too much of my limited time into what seems to be a marginal product. (And I used Photoshop in the distant past as well - versions 3 - 6). I have experimented some with ACDSee Ultimate, but have not mastered it. I haven’t settled on a solution yet, so Black Friday is creating opportunities … and monetary challenges … for finding one. This is both good news … and bad news … for me.īecause I am only (slowly) getting back into (amateur) photograph after decades of absence (from the era of Tri-X and Kodachrome), one of the aspects of digital photography that I am trying to come to grips with is post-processing. The sale is on for a week, until the end of the day Monday (Cyber Monday) PhotoLab 6: now $149 (down from $219) - upgrade price $69įilmPack 6: $69 (down from $139) - upgrade price $45
