So, my touch in DxO and, then, in the GIMP is much less and lighter than it once was. Re DxO, as I've grown in experience and, hopefully, knowledge I'm better at capturing what I want to achieve as the end result. So thanks for letting me learn from your work I love photographs (and endeavor to create them) that are different from the way we normally see things whether it be a tasteful use of wide angle distortion or B/W. I snooped around your site and noticed your comments on shooting B/W since you suffer from a certain amount of color blindness (my father does too, he can't see reds and greens, they just look greyish brown to him.) I personally love the high emotional and visual impact of a well composed B/W image. You are obviously more proficient with than I am! I personally found that with the newest version they made the controls a little clumsy since they added so much more range of adjustment to all the different controls. I like your work and it intrigues me that you use DxO. My brother-in-law recently went to using Lightroom 3 from DxO and has been saying I should do the same. Thanks for the responses! From my experience I think ACR does a better job and makes finer adjustments.
#DXO OPTICS PRO PRESETS UPGRADE#
You can always upgrade from several levels back. You can skip updates if you feel there is nothing much there for you. But if you want to put your shots out there in competitions, show at camera clubs, hang high-quality images on your wall, then I think you do need it. If you are just doing family/pet shots, and never aim to do much other than enjoy your shots (nothing wrong with that) then you don't need it. Keep it for more than 10 years and that figure comes down. It's not exactly a lot, is it? If you are going to be a photographer for at least the next 10 years, then the total cost of the initial product and the upgrades works out at £1,730 or 47 pence a day. That works out at £10 a month for the upgrades. You might be happy to pay £600 for a new lens, so why pull back at spending the same on a processing system that will do everything? The upgrades come out approximately every 18 months and cost about £180 - CS4 to CS5 cost that.

For that reason it makes sense to make the changes you need with Optics Pro first.ĭisclaimer: I'm with DxO looking after product management.I know CS5 is a big outlay, but consider it an investment. It is designed that way so that Optics Pro can apply the corrections on the RAW and return the image as a TIFF or DNG. without any change you might have applied to it with LR. It works fine once you understand that the image actually transferred to Optics Pro is the unprocessed RAW, i.e. Others call up Optics Pro from within LR using the "Edit In" option. This takes advantage of Optics Pro’s automated corrections and image settings that aim for a result rather than blindly applying a delta. Some use Optics Pro upstream of LR: they process the images as a batch and then import the resulting DNG/TIFF into LR. With regards to the workflow itself, in our experience, most users with LR tend to fall in 2 categories. In the interest of validating a workflow it shouldn't be a problem. It remains functional beyond that point but pictures are watermarked.

But, I do like using the DxO product! Here's probably what I'm going to get:ġ. That's not to say that it couldn't be used in a Lightroom type of workflow-it'd probably just be easier and faster in Lightroom. That said, it's a far different kind of product than Lightroom, in my opinion-it's more like a specialty app and RAW converter. The application is a bit clunky, and rather slow, but I really enjoy exploring its cool features. I also like the fact that my body, and my most-often used Nikkors are in their optical corrections database.
#DXO OPTICS PRO PRESETS SOFTWARE#
I'm still deciding on my software suite as well, and DxO Optics Pro remains high on the list, mainly for its powerful, and easy-to-use perspective control features. Yes, I respectfully voice the opinion that you have it "wrong" (even though there's really no "right" or "wrong," just more- or less-appropriate apps for certain types of work/application requirements).
