AND of course Capture One is excellent - even if it's masking tools are old school. I had a similar experience with Fuji's own RAW processing tool. I do not use NX Studio, which consistently gets 1 out of 10 for me. I am sorry but PL6 is in last place of the tools I have bought and use - it gets 3 out of 10 from my use - it is far too slow to use.

#Dxo pure skin#
LRC/PS have far far superior AI based masking tools than PL6, which seems to be very much old school and therefore slow.Ĭapture One's skin tone tools are the best of any I have used, which is why Capture One remains my go to for portraits. I have used Deep Prime XD - but prefer to use DeNoise AI for noise reduction. It also adds some basic punch to all images.ĪCR/LRC's processing of Z9 Raw files is lousy compared to the results I get from PR2. However, when processing Nikon Z9 Lossless RAW files I use DXO Pure RAW 2 (PR2) to process these Z9 RAW files into linear DNG and have found this gets me all the benefits I want from DXO's colour and optics processes. Happily, processing can be speeded up very significantly, usually by 3 times or more, if your computer has a graphics card with a GPU supported by DeepPRIME.I own and use LRC,PS, Capture One (for tethered shooting and processing Phase One images), and DXO PL6 and also Phocus (for processing my Hasselblad 3FR files). A new PhotoLab export feature allows you to create a DNG file with the same features as PureRAW.īe aware that exporting images using DeepPRIME, whether from PureRAW or PhotoLab 4 is extremely processor intensive.and can take quite a while to export just using a computer's CPU.
#Dxo pure full#
PhotoLab 4 Elite includes the same PureRAW features as part of this more full featured raw file editor but with the added ability to be able to fine-tune those settings. You can see the effects of DeepPRIME applied to the entire image only after export. And in this regard, DxO Pure Raw 3 is outstanding.

Instead, DxO Pure Raw 3 exists to prepare, prime, and polish your raw file before editing. Because of the intense processing required for DeepPRIME, the results in Photolab can only be viewed at 100% one section of the image at a time in a smaller browser window during editing. Yet, you should not confuse DxO PureRaw 3 with Lightroom or any other typical photo editing software, as you cannot use DxO PureRaw 2 to boost exposure, tune white balance, or adjust color. The functionality in PureRAW can also be completely achieved In Photolab 4 Elite. It allows you to create DNG files for use in other software that can read that file format. PureRAW is a completely automatic program which includes DXO's world class demosaicing, lens distortion corrections, lens sharpening, chromatic aberration corrections, vignetting corrections, and the application of DeepPRIME, the best noise reduction for raw files currently available. You are also correct that the results of DeepPRIME on the entire image can be viewed only after export.
#Dxo pure update#
As you pointed out, an update to Photolab 4 Elite is required for the DeepPRIME feature. I'm including this quick overview of PureRAW and it's relationship to Photolab 4 Elite. I do not think the resulting processed raw image in DxO pl4 shows the results of deep prime, but DXO support will have to confirm this. If you have elite edition in pl4, you process the raw image in pl4 and export it as a tiff. You need DxO pl 4 Elite version to get Deep Prime. If so, you are purchasing the Pure Photo app for $20 lessThanks for your comments br br One more question. If you open Photolab 4 and JUST UTILIZE the Pure RAW function, can you then send the adjusted image to your desktop and then (with the Pure RAW adjustments) to LR or Photoshop
#Dxo pure upgrade#
If I upgrade from Photolab 3 to PhotoLab 4 ($69) am I in effect subscribing to Pure Raw which seems to be a part I have been a Lightroom/Photoshop user for a multitude of years and am comfortable with those products I currently have a subscription to Photo Lab 3 which rarely if ever gets used
