Dxo photolab v1.1.23/23/2023 I've moved on to their all new "Photo AI" program and am still having all the same issues with artifacting. Topaz' proposed solution at this juncture was to turn up NR so high that it obliterated all the detail in the image, taking the artifacts with it. If you feed it an untouched RAW file in the standalone program it usually solves the blotchiness problem, but I still haven't found a solution for all the strange artifacts, and "pastel" look it often gives feathers/fur. They are not forthcoming with this information in any of their marketing, which admittedly bothered me a bit. He told me that if there is any pre-processing done at all (for example anything you do via photoshop plugin, because Adobe converted the RAW, that counts as processing), it will not work properly. If not tonight, I will in the a.m.Īre you feeding it a RAW image? I had similar problems and ended up in email correspondence with Topaz' CEO. Sure, I'll report back here and send you a PM letting you know the results. That would be nice to know if you can do it! If DxO lets you process the crop image, see how the result compares with the full frame image. Then see if you can process the image in crop mode. I'm shooting lossless compressed and the files work fine in DxO, but I'm not using crop mode.Ĭould you do a quick experiment? Take two images at high(er) iso of the same subject - one in full frame lossless large and one in crop mode. My guess is they are supported, as DXO can handle my small and medium 12bit RAWs from my D850 which are similar. As for Sony's cooked RAWs, I don't actually know, but they have a free trial and you can find out for sure. Most popular equipment is already supported but there are a few outliers.ĭXO also has Photolab 5 (more of a Photoshop competitor) and you can process any file with that but I don't use it, so I am not sure how they handle JPEG NR. ![]() This is a much better approach, but the downside as mentioned is it takes a very long time for DXO to develop those profiles for every lens/camera combo. Another area it sets itself apart from similar programs is it applies sharpening and lens corrections differently across the frame, relative to how that specific lens behaves and proportionate to what is needed. It does NR, sharpening, and distortion correction, removes light CA, etc. At the RAW conversion stage is actually where you want all this improvement to happen. ![]() Also, knowing that there is other software that doesn't have any of these problems just gives me a much better option.ĭXO Pure RAW (the batch processing, stand-alone version of the software) only works on RAW files, yes. If it was a social media post or thumbnail, then maybe not, but you wouldn't really benefit from using DeNoise on a tiny web-sized photo in the first place. You would notice it easily in a print as well. To my eye it is clearly noticeable at any reasonable viewing size, yes. One hesitation I have about DXO is that it only accepts true raw files, correct? So it wouldn’t work when I shoot in crop mode and lossless compressed medium (which is what the A7R5 defaults to using lossless compressed in crop mode) since the file isn’t a “true” raw. Again, I’m just starting out with this denoise stuff. I can see what you are talking about, but at a reasonable viewing size, would these things be noticeable? Just wondering.
