It has a lot going for but pulling the best image possible out of the RAW file is not it's forte. I have made a concerted effort to learn LR.

Like you, I was dragged kicking and screaming away from Aperture and towards Lightroom. Your 2 posts mirror my experience I just cannot get the Lightroom processing to look as well as he other two.Ĭomments from anyone, especially those experienced with both Lightroom and DxO or Capture One would be appreciated.Thanks for your comments. My pp is quite basic, just tone, color, sharpness, highlights, etc. My question/problem is with Lightroom held in such high regard and a clear leader in market share, I wonder if I am making a mistake and would be better to just try harder with Lightroom. I have spent the last several months looking at various RAW processors in anticipation of Aperture no longer working with the next OSX.įor my needs and abilities, I have found both DxO and Capture One to be way better than others I have tried. I hope you found this interesting.I have been a fan of a raw image processing progra. Both programs will accept input from the user to make adjustments to the image.

LR also automatically makes it's version of the optimum corrections. LR's strength is in ability to catalog images so they can be quickly located. LR also likes to work the raw image file. It is not at all like PhotoShop in that the user can not make as many changes as PS but it's much easier to use. These changes/improvements are quick and easy to make. The AI controls the tone, color, contrast,etc to optimize the image. It corrects for aberrations in the lens and camera. The original idea behind DxO was to make mathematical correction transfer functions / modules for every popular lens-camera combination. This latest version interfaces very well with Adobe Light Room and it also has a lot of artificial intelligence "AI" built into it.

The AI built into DxO is remarkable in that I put very little manual effort into optimizing the image. Maybe some of you LR experts will be able to make the LR version look as good, or better than the DxO version but I would be surprised if you could. It's almost impossible to read the sign in the LR version. If you enlarge the images below you will be able to read the text on the sign explaining the color of the water in the lake. DxO as smart enough to know to know NOT to apply this adjustment to the face.īTW, I considered the image below as a throw away until DxO saved it. I then added macro-contrast contrast adjustments to bring out detail of the earth strata in the background. It found the face and adjusted the image to preserve the face. This latest version of DxO has face recognition. LR's strength is in it's ability to catalog images so they can be quickly located. LR also likes to work with the raw image file. The AI controls the tone, color, contrast, etc to optimize the image. I have been a fan of a raw image processing program called "DxO Optics Pro" since it first came out many years ago and have been updating to the latest version every few years.
