 Re: DXO PureRAW3 vs PL 6: A Question | |
Since we're sharing some side-by-side comparisons... In addition to fine details like hair, feathers and trees, raising shadow details is another consideration.
I find DxO Pure Raw 3 does a much better job than Adobe.
Above is a "torture test" comparison of DxO Pure Raw 3 and Adobe: raising the deep shadows on an ISO 5000 image from a Sony A7R2. To avoid blowing the highlights and retain texture in the chrome bumper, the photograph was "exposed to the right". As soon as we lift the shadows, a big difference appears. See here for a detail section: note how the Adobe rendition contains abundant noise in the low values, while also smoothing over details in the mid-to-high values.
