I picked up DXO Photolab 5 a couple years ago when they ran a half-price Black Friday deal, and was blown away by the RAW file processing. I was so impressed that I immediately upgraded to Photolab 6 last year, which includes Deep Prime XD too. It truly brings out the beauty of Fuji files where Lightroom has always fallen short. Even Canon RAW files look better than Lightroom’s processing, but I’ve still kept Lightroom because I prefer the file management tools it has, but majority of my editing now happens in Photolab 6.

Hi Omar, I concur, not only was I impressed with how Dxo3 handles my XT3 and XT5 images, I was amazed at what I could do with an old Canon 20D image.

I’m two weeks into a trial download, I will definitely be buying it.

You are sharing your own unique version of goof with your audience so wonderfully and in such a rare way, that in all my years of KZfaq deep dives (be it tutorials, reviews, etc.) I can't say I've encountered another creator quite like you. The ability you have to create video after video of your authentic self is the reason art MUST exist, and that being said you are creating ART with each and every upload. Even just talking about super clean Fuji files and how you got the results, what is really standing out for me as a viewer is this really cool experience of hanging out in your little camera room and shooting the sh*t. For that, I thank you. Oh and thanks for all the cool tips.

I am not a shill for the company, like you I just want to spread the news so all Fuji users are aware of what a boost this software gives to any image. It will also release you from the fear of using hi-iso. If I am shooting wildlife I let the iso float all the way up to iso12800 because I know that as long as the image is sharp, DxO will do an incredible job of removing noise and increasing sharpness.

Well, they are a good start, but far away from perfect. Specially the sky, background and subject maskings are not really accurate and create halos due to overlapping. Of course each mask can be cut by color or luminance selections but this still creates problems at clear edges. Color bleeding is also an issue with LR/ACR masking when trying to get high contrast images. Frquency separation in PS or Affinity Photo create a lot cleaner results.

When I shot Fujifilm, I used to use Iridient X-Transformer prior to importing into Lightroom and it would kinda achieve the same thing as well. But you're right, Adobe REALLY REALLY needs to do some R&D on their raw processing. Love Lightroom but other processors seem to decode the raw file better. I mean if you shoot Nikon, Nikon's own raw processor their Capture NX-D makes their raw files look even better than Adobes. But at the end of the day, it's just nerds and pixel peepers like us that seem to care haha. I think some even prefer the way Adobe processes Fujifilm RAF's in Lightroom with the more noisy look because it reminds them of film. I guess it doesn't matter if you get the results you like in the end.

Fuji's X Trans pattern being the only one of its kind and Fujifilm being a small part of the camera's market, Adobe ( and others : On1, Luminar ...) never modified their algorithms to correctly render that specific pattern. Capture One and DXO did, hence the results Personal experience : I sold back my 16-80 while working with both LR and On1 but when DXO finally worked with with RAF files i gave it a try and, boom, i bought back the 16-80. Being french, as you might have noticed from my english, may be i'm biased but the optical enhancements ( even with my old Nikon gears ) in DXO is really top class.

DxO while great, sometimes over sharpens the image (halos, artifacts). I wish it had a sharpness slider like PhotoLab 6 because I usually turn it down to -0.5. There is a toggle switch for lens softness in PureRaw but it doesn't really do much.

I've found that with DxO PureRaw2 that about 90% of my X-T3 landscape shots are improved, sometimes vastly improved. However, it also introduces serious vignetting issues on some shots. I haven't spent the time to specifically track down the problem. But sometimes it seems like it is over-correcting for lens vignetting resulting is lightened edges. Maybe it's been corrected in 3?

@winfriedhennes5552 Жыл бұрын

Same experience here. In Pure RAW 3 DxO has done a great job on their demosaicing algorithms for X-Trans files. DxO was hesitant supporting X-Trans for a long time. Imo Pure RAW 3 offers the best X-Trans demosaicing currently available. I´ve used Iridient X-Transformer over a several years period to overcome Adobe limitations demosaicing X-Trans files. Disadvantage of Iridient is lag of powerful denoise and sharpening. These tools are implemented but results are more destructive than useful. The test results on my ISO 10.000 and 12.800 X-Pro3 files were really impressive, a lot better than Topaz results of all 3 Topaz apps (Denoise AI, Sharpen AI, PhotoAI) standalone or as PS plugins.Topaz issues are tendency to oversharpen, creating artifacts and tiny edge halos.

It's the most advanced RAW editor that handles my Fuji files (all the brands I use, all the lenses and sensors for that matter) so brilliantly. Equal to if not better than Capture One, which I also spent some time with. In the end I got rid of Lightroom and never looked back.

@AlexZafer Жыл бұрын

@@el0blaino I use DXO PhotoLab 6 Elite Edition which already utilizes DeepPRIME and DeepRIME XD - it also acts as my data asset management tool similar to Lightroom. I do not use DXO Pure RAW 3 as a stand-alone or plug-in to process my files. DxO PhotoLab ELITE Edition works really well for me as an overall powerful comprehensive set of tools to process and edit my files. Both DxO Photolab 6 and DxO PureRAW are based on the same engine and you can expect the same results for denoising and optical corrections - so I'm not sure what it is doing exactly to increase the file sizes so massively. I don't experience that. Mind you, when DNG output is used, DxO PureRAW outputs files as linear DNG, an image format with 3 color information by pixel (whereas a RAW file only has one color information by pixel), that's a big algorithm with a lot of info and does not apply lossy compression. Consequently, the output DNG file is bigger than either the original RAW file or the JPG compressed output.

@@AlexZafer Thanks for this. That must be it - I'm not outputting to DNG so I'm not familiar with what happens when transforming RAW files to DNG. Sounds like what I've experienced comparing TIFF to JPG, though. Sounds like the DXO PhotoLab6 Elite Edition would be the alternative if I wanted to switch from C1 rather than just use the DXO to sharpen images first. As far as DAM goes I am really adrift! I use PhotoMechanic to ingest, cull, and on a good day caption. I import a subset into a single C1 catalog for editing, then export JPGs when I've got edits I like. Originally I thought I could just use Finder and Spotlight search to find things, but even for me as an amateur I fear that will soon become unworkable - or at least using up time unnecessarily when DAM tools are out there. I have PM6+ and C1 which have DAM tools but I'm kind of paralyzed at how I want to use them. I don't import everything into C1 but I also don't pull everything out after I've made edits, so the C1 catalog isn't tiny and will continue to grow. That makes me think, Well what is the savings from NOT importing everything into C1? Is a PM6+ catalog a smaller footprint? Etc. Anyway - thank you @AlexZafer and thank you @petertimmermans8425 !

how do you add camera profiles/simulations to the profile drop down? if I go to profile and browse they're there but not from the drop down

Omar, can't find a comparison between DXO Pure Raw and Topaz AI. So far, not liking what DXO does as there is a significant color shift with it and I seem to be seeing smearing. With Topaz there is none of this and I don't have to deal with huge files and a workflow change. Wondering if you've compared the two on Fuji files?

I made the same observation and that's why I switched to Topaz Photo AI.

I have been using DXO PhotoLab Elite for several years. PhotoLab Elite 6.x is what PureRaw 3.0 is based on - however - the full version has more/better settings regarding noise and detail than PureRaw.
