![]() Right away, I can see that the processed DNG is darker. Using LR’s reference view, I can compare the PureRAW DNG to the original CR3. I certainly don’t need to add any sharpening in LR. Does anyone know if DxO is going to let us have more control of this? In the case of this image from my R5, it doesn’t look to be too bad. I’ve read many complaints about over-sharpening in this forum. From what I understand, PureRAW applies sharpening, so it makes sense that the slider in LR would be set to 0. ![]() I notice that the sharpening slider for these processed DNGs is all the way to the left instead of the default LR settings of 40. One of the last things I do is apply sharpening and noise reduction. In my case, I apply one of my color fidelity camera profiles. PureRAW didn’t do anything here, so I’m not sure why some claimed better colors when using it. Next, I move on to the ‘basic’ section and start with the color profile. Since PureRAW already applied lens correction, shouldn’t this be unchecked? Will leaving them checked in LR apply lens correction twice? I unchecked lens correction assuming it was already applied in PureRAW. By default both 'remove chromatic aberration and ‘enable profile corrections’ are checked. I select an image and click on the ‘Develop’ module.įirst, I apply lens correction. I then import the PureRAW DNG files into Lightroom Classic and follow my normal LR workflow. The most obvious difference is the lens correction. It doesn’t look like PureRAW is adjusting colors, except the processed image is a tad more exposed (maybe 1/3 stop). The difference between the original CR3 and the processed DNG is very subtle. I then process them using the default settings (DeepPRIME, DNG). The first time I did this, the program prompted me to download the modules for the camera/lens combo, which I did. I know there are several ways to integrate PureRAW with LR but not sure which is best.Īfter transferring my R5’s CR3 to my computer, I open them in DxO PureRAW. I have a basic question about how to incorporate DxO PureRAW into my workflow. ![]() I decided to download the trial for DxO PureRAW and compare it with Lightroom/ColorFidelity/Topaz DeNoise. Some have reported better results (less noise, better colors, etc.) when using DxO PureRAW to process the RAWs from the R5. Many people have complained about the excessive noise in these images due to Adobe’s RAW processing of Canon’s CR3 files. So far, I haven’t taken a lot of low light / super high ISO shots but I probably will eventually. Overall, I’m pretty happy with their camera profiles for the R5. Not the R5.Īfter hearing all the complaints about the R5 colors in Lightroom and the lack of camera-specific profiles, I purchase the R5 profiles from Color Fidelity. Adobe provided camera-specific color profiles for all those older cameras. I’ve been using this workflow for a long time, starting with my Canon EOS 7D, then 5D MkIII, then EOS R, and now my R5. I don’t do a lot of portraits, so skin tones aren’t a huge concern but there’s the occasional one here and again. For the most part, I’m happy with the results I’m getting with doing 90%+ of my post-processing with Lightroom Classic. I depend on Lightroom for my photo management and prefer to keep using it. I'm probably going to buy DXO Pure Raw while it is at a reduced introductory price even though I own the Topaz products.My workflow has always been to import my RAW files into Lightroom Classic and then use Photoshop and/or several plugins (Topaz Sharpen or DeNoise). I'd say, buy and use whatever feels right. Clear AI on full auto, isn't QUITE as sharp as the DXO, but I do have the ability to tweak and adjust the Clear AI version. I don't know how many times, I just zoomed in. At this level of magnification they look pretty much alike The Lens Fun Database that ACDSee uses for corrections doesn't allow for that combination, but DXO handles it quite well.īelow, is the DXO PureRaw version and the Topaz DeNoise AI version (with AI Clear in full auto) For instance, I still love my 4/3s DSLR lens, the Zuiko 14-54 mm, and I still shoot with it mounted on my m43s cameras. One thing I like about DXO that I didn't mention in my other post on this is I can get geometric lens corrections for odd combinations of lenses and bodies. I think someone who values the built-in adjustability of the Topaz tools over the 'no thinking required' of DXO could not be considered 'wrong'. But at a normal viewing level, I'm not convinced it matters all that much. The Demosaicing AI feature of DXO may play a part in overall detail retention on some photos, however. BUT, with Topaz, I can make adjustments to narrow that gap considerably. DXO PureRaw is a bit sharper than AI Clear mode in full auto, at an extreme zoom level. There's not a lot of difference! Certainly, not enough to matter in my mind.
