![]() ![]() I was using it back when Gabor was the sole developer, long before it went open source - I contributed to some early versions of the user manual and wrote some articles on RT-based workflows.īut in its current incarnation it has lost its focus, in my opinon - it isn't the quick, efficient, intuitive converter that RT 2.4.1 was. It's great for what it costs, but it's not in the same league, in like-for-like terms, as the better commercial converters. Canon doesn't know best, as it turns out, and the absence of fine HSV/HSL control over colour in DPP is a big miss. Its sharpening algorithms are basic and unrefined: the masking slider in Lr's sharpening function is in itself worth its weight in gold, as is the ability to invoke deconvolution sharpening for better fine detail without artefacts - something you get by default with Photo Ninja.Īnd frankly, DPP's colour rendition does nothing for me either, especially compared to, say, Capture One. I see that written on occasion, but personally I've yet to experience a single instance of it being true.ĭPP has very poor highlight "recovery" - especially compared to the magic that Lightroom 4.x and Photo Ninja can perform - and its high ISO noise reduction is clumsy and costly to detail. Sad part is there are many situations where Canon's FREE software does the best job. And then I added another interesting one, free for Apple users with the Developers pack, some sort of Aperture little brother: Core Image Fun HouseHope this helps! They were: Apple Preview, Canon Digital Photo Professional, CaptureOne 6, Corel AfterShot, DCRaw, DXO Optics, Gimp, Lightroom 3, PerfectRaw, Photoshop 5, RawTherapee, Rawker, RawDeveloper, RawPhotoProcessor, UFRaw. I compared against each other almost all the raw converters available then. It's a 5 parts post with 100% crops for each raw converter. Part 1 - unsharpened crops Part 2 - crops sharpened in the raw converter Part 3 - crops sharpened by a Photoshop action Part 4 - crops sharpened for the best possible result Part 5 - conclusions and ratings I think it can be useful to others, and that it's worth sharing so here we are: ![]() I was talking to another guy on a forum about which raw converter I use and why, and being new here on I realized that I haven't spoke to anyone yet of an old post of mine. ![]()
