I tested the same photos adding 2x to 70-200 mk2 and Canon did a significantly better job than DXO in this situation. Would have been interested to know if all R cameras support the clarity and the face auto light adjust?Ĭanon DLO is better than this feature in DXO.

I do not understand why since it's just a software feature and really has nothing to do with camera. I recently downloaded the latest version to try the clarity slider to see if it more or less do the same as Microcontrast but the sad thing was that for my cameras this feature was not supported. Since the version of DPP4 that I was using Canon has added some very basic local adjustment, a clarity slider and face recognition with portrait light auto adjust that seemed pretty neat in a youtube video (perhaps something more?). In first hand local constrast features as Microcontrast (Clarity) and Clearview (Dehaze) and secondly local adjustment.
I finally switched to DXO Photolab 1 when that came out due to lacking features in DPP that sometimes was needed. I myself am still learning those and honestly do not use these much.Īll in all I like the images that are generated using DPP4 and would encourage other Canon users if you haven't tried so, give it a shot.ĭPP is very good and often give the best look. PS: I have left out many other features such as dust delete, area fixes, etc etc. Link to that page: My Canon DPP 4 workflow If anyone prefer a slightly more detailed step by step or a visual step by step, I have posted this on my website as well. There are a lot more functionality which I haven't used. And only tried once the dust delete one time. Rarely do I use the details and saturation tabs. In basic edit, I adjust the picture style, auto gamma and slight tweak of mid point if required, and unsharp mask 9-4-4 for strength, fineness, Threshold. Within edit mode I use the Lens Optimizer, basic edits mostly.
Below I am sharing my workflow with the goal it may encourage some other users on the fence to give it a try.Īt a high level - I make folder (Event name) and within that subfolder RAW and subfolder JPG -> Use Quick View to rate 5 star (keepers) -> Save the 5 star RAW's to final RAW folder -> Browse to final folder -> Edit -> Batch export all to final JPG folder. Lens optimizer does most of the work fixing lens correctionsĪll in all I find images turns out great. I do some minor mid-point to make the image brighter / darker depending on what I am trying to convey in the imageĭ. The gamma correction auto does most of the work. The Picture profile does most of the workī. After the initial learning curve, I am hooked now.Ī. Recently I tried Canon DPP 4.There was a bit of a learning curve. My requirements are a simple editor to take my RAW files and process them slightly. I used LR earlier and then moved to DXO PL when Adobe LR went to subscription model.
