![]() ![]() I think if DxO had both the 'one click' option and sliders for masking, adjusting I would be overall happier with that…and I'm not really sure why a denoise program would add sharpness as well out side of the one click thought, seems like noise removal then regular processing then sharpening as needed on whatever parts are needed would give better results. I'm heading out to Fort DeSoto SP on Monday so will have some new images to test out…I think I'll do some of them with both options and see how much if any real difference I see with multiple tests and whether the extra work is worth it. Still going to try a few more images though the 129 price for DxO3 with no upgrade pricing seems a little steep to me given the lack of controls…but I guess they were going for one click operation vice having to make decisions between modes and masking and the amount sliders. John…yeah…that's about my conclusion as well…but to be honest one really can't go wrong with any of the 3 and I found that the lack of masking or sliders in DxO 3 ended up with images that were a little over sharpened out of the denoise process to me even before any other processing. I've also got FastEditRAW and sometimes use it for pre-culling of the bad images and not import them into LR…but I haven't so far liked it for selecting photos to process and since disk space isn't really an issue importing everything into LR and then just ignoring most of the ones I don't process is a better idea since occasionally I go back and do something with one of the 'good but not great' shots. But figured it was worth a discussion on how to best go about these things. But now that DxO3 is out…I downloaded the trial and if I use the new super duper mode (whatever they call it…can't remember at the moment and too lazy to go look) the output is a bit better than DxO 2 noise wise albeit slower…and also a bit better than the same photo processed in Topaz DeNoise for noise and to me it looks a little over sharpened…I only did noise reduction and sharpening as noted and no other processing.Īt this point…it looks to me that figuring out how to work batch processing in Topaz just might be a better idea since there are no adjustment options therein for either noise or sharpening and just accept the fact that noise reduction will be a little slower in Topaz due to having to check the various noise removal modes and then use sharpening with subject selection as needed. I did a test, and the results are impressive.So…has anybody else done some comparisons between these 3? I've been using DxO2 after importing into LR Classic and selecting images to be processed then DxO2 then normal processing with sharpening via Topaz Sharpen AI if necessary, that was based on workflow as there didn't seem to be much difference in output between the two and the fully auto DxO process was easier than trying to batch process with Topaz DeNoise and select the right mode for each shot. Better dynamic range means that shadows can be lifted and details can be recovered.ĭxO also claims that ISO4000 images look like an ISO500 images. The new DeepPRIME XD is better.Īccording to DxO dynamic range is improved by 2.5 stops. ![]() DeepPRIME was already the best in the market. ![]() The best noise reduction just got better.įor me, the most exciting thing is that DxO Labs has improved its noise reduction. I have not tested PhotoLab 5 against PhotoLab 6 on this one. According to the DxO Labs press release, more accurate colors can be achieved. The third improvement is new color processing algorithms. It makes cloning and healing possible and external software is unnecessary-more about the ReTouch tool in my video about DxO PhotoLab 6. ![]() These types of improvements are always welcome. The use of color labels makes it easier to choose images. DxO has improved the library system so that the workflow is smoother. The corrections are not just some average adjustments but are actually based on the camera and lens used.Ī smoother and faster workflow makes it easier to edit. That has made the image quality one of the best, if not the best, on the market. They are data that they have collected using tens of thousands of different camera lens combinations. DxO has been known for its excellent Modules. DxO has just announced its upgrade to PhotoLab, PhotoLab 6. ![]()
