Second image – added Smart Lighting box also on the window The first image – I draw a box on the cat and on some shadows below the cat and moved the box around As I see Lightroom is doing lots of work ‘behind the curtain’ so I don’t have to do. If I want to get rid of Lightroom one day I must be sure I can get the results I like with DxO. I use Lightroom for years so it makes sense to compare and my goal is to get the same results in DxO in about the same time. Why not? They are designed for the same work. Whenever I write to this forum I get the answer ‘’don’t compare DxO with lightroom’’. I hope you all understand what I’m trying to say. They are designed for the same work – to do some routing of wood but I can not get the same end results with all three routers. I have three plunge routers for my woodworking and I compared the results so I use one router for dirty jobs (it has some play in the pillars) and the other router for more delicate jobs where I need to do more precise work and my third router is under the table because it has the best hight adjustment.
I think it’s natural to compare tools designed for the same job. John-M Thanks for the answer and suggestions. If I use Microcontrast and Fine contrast in DxO ALL image is affected no matter what.
DXO PHOTOLAB 2 SMOOTH FACES PLUS
If I try to compensate with Clear View plus it homehow helps.Īnd here is odd thing if I use Texture in Lightroom it somehow calculates by itself on what things to make effect – high effect on contrasty things and low effect on things without contrast like white smooth surfaces and similar. If I want to compensate this with Blacks slider then all image goes back to dark because Shadows and Blacks sliders have almost the same effect. If I move Shadows slider in DxO the image goes flat and my cat is without contrast. In Lightroom shadows opens but my cat does not loose contrast and you can clearly see those black stripes on the cats body. I only moved Shadows slider to the right.
DXO PHOTOLAB 2 SMOOTH FACES HOW TO
I just haven’t figured it out what it adds and how to get the same in DxO.įor example check the first two images I posted.
Lightroom is adding something to my RAW files. Then I look at the RAW file as it is and then I decide what to do.Īnd yes if I apply those DxO presets I can see the changes on my photos but those presets are not what I’m looking for. When I open new RAW file my preset only adds Lens Sharpness. I have my own preset in preference tab – No correction with Lens Sharpness activated. My last attempt was to adjust Smart Lighting and Contrast but results were similar – check the last two images I posted.
I would like to see sharp image when the image is ‘’Fit to screen’’ in DxO window. The thing is you just can’t see it because I posted printscreen and DxO shows sharpness only at 75% or more magnification. I will also try to answer all your questions and suggestions. And thus stretching the tonecurve of the image tonal property’s.įirst I need to thank you all for your answers. Remember smartlighting is killing contrast because it extend the existing dynamic range. If you can provide the rawfile people can give it a go and even post the dopfile so you can see how it’s done. Like LR is just give you a auto modes (lot of things are done without your controll or knowing which can be a pain if you don’t want it.) I have my personal preset a +18 al the time.Ĭlearview helps to add microcontrast and thus pop into the image. Vibrance does help to make the image more pop. When pushing exposure up the smartlighting is working to keep the image brightnes\lightness inside the DR of the selected parts in the boxes. (the tool to set a box of interest around something in the image.) place one box on a dark place and one on a bright place. Second, use smart lighting only in box selective mode. When you turndown highlights agressive in selective tone the white got “greyisch” so use both.Ĭontrast and tone highlight slider say -19 and -19 instead of -40 on tone. Just scroll though this it’s a search and journey for things which seems to be done in LR as a breeze to see if it’s also possible in DxOpl v1.
