The main novelty compared to Deep Prime is that Deep Prime XD tries to guess, on a larger scale, where are the areas of details that have to be sharpened a little bit more, and what are on the opposite the area of low details, uniform colors or bokeh that can benefit from being smoothed a little bit more. It's supposed to be even better than Deep Prime. I will probably add/modify my initial review to include them when I will have time for this I will focus of course only on the new things. I played a little bit with the new DPL 6, and here is what I can say about it, in case anyone is interested. At least when I checked for the last time a few months ago. I keep an eye on the competitors (ON1 Nonoise AI, Topaz Denoise), but nothing is a convincing as Deep Prime. For me, as a wedding photographer, it was a game changer a few years ago. Yep, it really changes the way you can shoot indoor (or outdoor with a fast shutter speed). I shoot at much higher ISO's than I ever did in the past. I shoot MU43 and the upgrade to DeepPrime breathed new life into my cameras. I have been a DxO PL user for a number of years and have been very happy with the upgrades over time. Thanks for a great highly detailed write up. Once you buy it, it's fully integrated to DPL (and a little bit better than LR and C1), but it's not natively a part of DPL. I was surprised to see that perspective correction was missing in DXO and is apparently an addon? I thought shadow recovery was better on ON1. The denoising might have been just a bit better with DXO, but not by enough to make me choose it over ON1. I also found, surprisingly, that I usually liked the images out of ON1 better. I decided to try ON1 and DXO before upgrading my Capture One. The new nonoise built in to ON1 Photo Raw 2022 is very good. I was very surprised I could now get better images from ON1 Photo RAW 2022 when processing the same images in both applications. I just did a comparison of ON1 Photo RAW 2022 vs DXO Photolab 5 You just have to wait for update, and pray that it won't be a paid upgrade ^^ In the past, I suceeded to fool DPL by renaming the camera in the exifs into a similar camera (with a similar sensor from the same brand), but the sensor inside the OM-1 is totally new, so it's probably not an option here. I think that it's going to be difficult to find a workaround. Turns out Photolab requires the original Raw file be supported in order to support the DNG made from it.Ĭurrently I do not have a computer as I am tranitioning back to Mac OS. I tried it with an unsupported camera and it didn’t work. Have you done it and it worked? I may have made a mistake somewhere, as my DNG converter had not been used for quite a while. Use Adobe DNG converter to convert to a DNG I was hoping to move my main Post processing to PL but it is not looking to good right now. Yes they are conveniently just slow enough to wait it out until the next annual fall upgrade and make you pay for itīut in contrast to Capture One, their upgrades are reasonably priced.ĭrifting off topic a but but - does anyone know a way to fool Photolab 5 into processing a RAW from the OM-1? I tried running it through Lightroom and exporting the DNG, then process the DNG file in PL5, but it does not see the DNG as RAW (just guessing) as I could not use Prime/DeepPrime. I put a support request, but after 4 weeks still nothing.ĭo you guys have any idea what I’m doing wrong?įor the time being I was working with a special test-version and since the latest update it’s for everyone now. With PL5 I can’t see my ratings (stars) anymore, so it’s more or less unusable for previous processed images. I upgraded from PL4 to PL5 and found an issue. Be careful however, they won't hesitate to make you pay for the future DPL6 to get that update even if the camera is already a few months old. And they don't use the manufacturer profiles for distorsion and vignetting. So I guess that after making their neutral profile for the new camera, they also have to check the behavior of the lenses, they don't just copy paste their previous measurements. Apparently they make calculations for distorsion and vignetting for every camera. I would think software companies would be used to adding new RAW support, there must be hundreds of variations by now.ĭXO is indeed slower than C1 and LR to release their updates for camera bodies and lenses. I asked them when and got the "it's on the list but no date" reply. No problem with LR and Photoshop, but DXO does not recognize the new RAW extension. I just upgraded to ver 5, but I also recently swapped camera gear from Sony to the new Oly OM-1 system (incredible gear BTW - small, light, very advanced tech, weatherproof). I am not a power user, just a weekend warrior, and would very much like to use DxO (with NIK) exclusively.
