So I need a software that helps me to get good results spending as few time as possible. I need good results in a week, but I can spend only 2-3 hours a day (maybe more if I decide not to sleep a lot). I'm not a pro, in the sense that I don't live from photography, but I attend some events during the year, and in such events I have to process 400+ pics, so I need to import, do basic cataloging or organization, basic editing, final editing, and exporting. To avoid misleading impressions, I would also add that for any edits you apply to the image in OpticsPro/PhotoLab, I have found the display quality more than adequate, with no issue at all.

While there is certainly room for improvement with the standard and possibly the fullscreen views they offer, this hasn't been a deal-breaker for me, given the hands-down excellent output quality I've been getting with DxO. However, when fully zooming into the fullscreen view, I have never had a problem to tell whether an image is tack-sharp or not. I recall being a little irritated when I made the switch about the 'judgability' (is that a word?) of the display image in OpticsPro/PhotoLab in the standard display, and to some extent even in the fullscreen view, the latter being the view I use when culling images and establishing critical sharpness. I guess I was a little slow, but I think I begin to dig what you are driving at.

Oh, thanks for your praise and the clarification. Thats way i simply suggest to try programs first. As i said, i firdt thought its an issue on my pc, but there are review s and threads around discussing it. When zooming, suddenly sharpening is applied.

This might only be an issue with some screens/resolution combinations, but i could not asses sharpening when viewing the full image. I might been not clear, i did not want to say the output jpgs are not good in any way, but the 'appearance' of the image while editing differed depending on the zoom level. Very nice pictures, and indeed perfectly sharp. Some photos are just great as they came out of your camera and post-processing can ruin them. As with any PP software just resist the urge to overdo it. For the minimal effort required on your part you can get some impressive results, and I have friends who absolutely love it.

#DXO PHOTOLAB 2 SMOOTH FACES HOW TO#

It's good for those who lack any real photo processing software and not sure how to start along with those who already have something but want to make things easier for certain tasks.

For those needing a software package a few times a month I'd say it might be the best choice right now and deserves consideration. It can be dog-slow at times too if you use their AI features which is really it's calling card and makes them stand out from other relatively inexpensive software. Luminar 4 is probably the most impressive of the lot considering bang-for-buck, but if you're trying to finish up a couple hundred images in an evening it probably ain't happening. I think I used both Darktable and RAWTherapee a few years back but obviously wasn't impressed enough to pursue them and have zero comment otherwise.

If you're not a pro or prosumer it's a spendy package that has little benefit over less expensive software. Heck even some of my sony A7x friends who got the Sony-specific version tell me they use it for common tasks and adjustments but otherwise they don't truly understand the most efficient workflow or what some of the options and settings mean and how they operate. IMO the software is difficult to learn, and if not using daily probably impossible to master. I really like their lens corrections and basic RAW processing is pretty darn good but it's not going to be an end-to-end workflow package for demanding photographers.Ĭapture One seems to like Sony and Canon owners and tailors the interface accordingly. Forget new features, just give me more speed and they'll have a winner IMO.ĭxO lacks necessary features and is less adaptable.

One can hope, right? IMHO they should use one update cycle just for addressing the efficiency of their package and making better use of available computer resources. I'd love to be able to rely on it for the majority of my PP needs and ditch all the Adobe stuff. Still too slow for me but I wish them all the luck in figuring out how to speed things up. For whatever reason each year the promised performance just never quite gets there even if the new features seem worthwhile. On 1 is too often too slow yet it's the only package I've come across that might potentially replace both Lightroom and Photoshop. I'm not a heavy shooter, but not just occasional either, processing maybe 300-600 shots a month on average tho lately triple that. I've been looking for awhile and still not found anything as a total replacement for LR. I have all of those except the free Darktable.
