I'm starting to work with Photolab so will be picking Viewpoint up on sale.
"DxO ViewPoint exists as an independent application, a plugin for DxO PhotoLab, and an external editor for Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe® Lightroom® and Adobe® Photoshop Elements®." Yes, found this on the DxO Viewpoint page. CVs) have close to zero chance of ever having a DxO profile unfortunately. I also find that more "exotic" lenses (e.g.
#Dxo viewpoint 2 vs 3 manual#
That is an important point imho, DxO does *not* use embedded correction data, so if there's no DxO lens profile available, you're left with manual correction. If there is no lens profile in DxO and CO, then you need to do the lens correction (distortion, vignetting, lateral CA) manually. The downside is that, you're losing lens correction data embedded in EXIF this way. skintones) more in CO, so what I do sometimes is export (to DNG) the photo in PL (with no corrections, so only with denoising applied) and then process to the end in CO. You'd need to buy it separately or in a bundle with PL and FP, last time I checked at least.Īs for the workflow, I was also a CO-only user, now I'm trying out PL to see if I can really switch. ViewPoint functionality is not included in PhotoLab.
#Dxo viewpoint 2 vs 3 how to#
Same question for how to implement DXO PhotoRAW and ViewPoint 3 into my C1 workflow so that it makes sense. It substantially reduces noise while providing a natural looking final result.
#Dxo viewpoint 2 vs 3 iso#
IMO, the magic really happens with high ISO images. Having said that, I don't use PureRaw for low and medium ISO files. I usually turn off all corrections when using DeepPrime, which I think it's the best option for noise reduction in PureRaw. I was about to post the same exact screenshot. If you are using the standard DXO Photolab Essential you would need to add DXO PureRaw. Same question for how to implement DXO PhotoRAW and ViewPoint 3 into my C1 workflow so that it makes sense.ĭXO Photolab 5 ELITE edition contains the exact capabilities for denoising that DXP Pure Raw provides. Would have to think about how to implement PL5 into my C1 workflow. But still I want to stick with Capture One. But does it also DXO ViewPoint 3 functionality? If yes, it might be worth a thought to buy Photolab 5 instated of those two packs.
So Photolab 5 includes PhotoRAW functionality. I found the films better than those of in the NIK collection (ColorEffects). I already bought the Filmarchiv 6 yesterday and was positively suprised. Photolab 5) demolishing/sharpening techonlogy, it’s a good thing and I might buy it. So if PhotoRAW uses the latest technology (i.e. Therefore I need it as stand alone versions. Thank you! (Unfortunately?) I use Capture One I think current releaes of PureRAW and PhotoLab are contain the same denoising engine, even though the version numbering is different. You can export from PhotoLab to Lightroom, I'm not sure if it works the other way around. With that said, I think it depends on your computers performance. I found PureRAW to take longer on my computer. Is PureRAW any faster in processing images than Denoise? To those that does a direct side-by-side comparison, is there a noticeable difference in the processing time between the two? Thanks! But the processing time is a little long for my taste. I am actually happy with how Topaz Denoise performs.
I think current releases of PureRAW and PhotoLab contain the same denoising engine, even though the version numbering is different.įilmPack is also pretty nice in my opinion (avaiable as Lightroom plugin I think too) as it adds a couple extra sliders to PhotoLab. You can export directly from PhotoLab to Lightroom, I'm not sure if it works the other way around (but you can fall back to "manual" export via generated file). I meant does its de-noising and sharpening function equal that of Photolab 4 or 5? Maybe I should have articulated more clearly what I mean It just does de-noise and sharpening, and is used before you do anything else to the images. I don't know it firsthand, but that's what they say on their page:ĭoes this DXO also work as a stand-alone-software? I suppose it’s not integrated into Capture One, so working as a stand-alone-software would be crucial for me.Īnd one more question: Does the current version of DXO PureRAW equal Photolab 4 or 5 in its functionality?īecause if it’s only 4, it might be better to wait for a new version. you only get updates in the first year after purchase? What about Topas then? Do they also do the same, i.e.
