Something to be said about using the vendors own software as they have to make the calibration profiles and have access to the optical design data in which to make them from. DXO although more accurate than Adobe, still lags behind DPP4 in lens correctional data (not by as much as Adobe) and colors as previously mentioned. I tried it, it's fast, more color accurate than Adobe, but, I did get better results with DPP4 + LR, again though, more work. Yes, you would be wise to do 2-step conversion, but yes, it's painful as DPP4 is slow and it's more workflow.Ī lot of folks love DXO around here. Another reason to use it as it'll "cook in" noise reduction during TIFF conversion. I don't usually use that strong of language but Adobe deserves it for the money we pay them for them not to do something for a product that's been out for how long now?ĭPP4 is "smarter" with noise reduction than Adobe, too. Just awful when you run them side by side and can see the distortion, vignetting uncorrected. Lens corrections are just as poor IMO on the new RF glass and, the EF-M glass I recently ran though it.
There's been recent complaints of deep blue being rendered purple around here (which I attribute to Adobe color match, or lack thereof), that's a good example of bad ICC profiling / no ICC profiling by Adobe. Colors in particular are a real stickler for me. I usually let the batch job do it's thing and then come back after lunch etc, and pull in the TIFFs. Convert from CR3 to TIFF (with the color profile desired, any WB corrections and lens corrections) with DPP4, then make lighting tweaks in Lightroom. CR3 files (any DIGIC8 or DIGICX and presumably newer Canons) are a real problem for Adobe however.īest of both worlds is as you've heard. I digest my old G1X Mark III (CR2 Canon) RAWs directly with it. Touch less color accurate but when I say touch, even I don't care. In fact, I might argue it does better than DPP4, and faster. Now older CR2 files, Lightroom has no trouble with. However, DPP4 does a much better job with lens correctional data and color profiles on any CR3 RAW file is the gist. I can hoard my RAWs for a bit and DPP4 does most of what I want anyways even without LR. Waiting for a good $20 off per year promo. It is night and day different particularly at ISOs above about 1,200.

In my experiments, I would say DxO DeepPrime is like shooting with 2 stops (1/4) the ISO as using Adobe RAW. I think they even go on sale based on your clicking around the website (to get you to buy). DxO products are free to try and seem to routinely be going on sale. If you only want to do a RAW conversion and everything else with some other program then there is PureRAW, otherwise, there is DxO PL4 with DeepPrime which gives more controls and a bunch of other features.

In my own testing and by many others on this forum plus several online reviews I have seen, DxO has the best RAW conversion software. They seem to be doing the least they can get away with.ĭPP4 generally does a better job than Adobe RAW but is slow. But it is pretty well documented on this forum that Adobe's RAW conversion is poor. I appreciate that you don't want to spend more money.

Being as DPP is free to me with my R5, I've downloaded it.Īre there any samples out there I may see of the difference before I dig into how to convert these files and load into Lightroom? I just read here that DPP would be ideal to convert the files from raw and then edit in Lightroom. I use the Lightroom subscription for Lightroom Classic as the 10 dollars a month works for me better than dumping a lump of funds into a piece of software.
