Squirrelly Software?

Ric Grupe

Not really qualified to make a report or reach a conclusion on DxO Labs new software, I thought I'd share my first experience with you nature lovers.

The original file would be too embarrassing to show....so here is my normal edit routine with Corel PhotoPaint and iCorrect Edit Lab plugin:



Now, here is an edit with Dxo:




Blown highlights gone and a more natural look with the sharpening IMO.

I strongly suggest you all take a look at this new software from DxO! :thumb

These were both done using a high quality jpeg as the original.

Harry...I know this post belongs elsewhere....just thought I'd give you guys the first crack at it.

Hi Ric,

Is the second shot a modification of the first?

I actually like the first shot better, its a little sharper, but a little flat. The second shot is too soft for my taste.

Both were edited using the original jpeg from my 20D. I could easily have sharpened the 2nd shot...but...my ill stated point was to get you to check out the software. This sharpening is a lens specific routine provided in the DxO software.:D This was a lousy original shot that DxO fixed up with very little input from me. (something my lazy a$$ loves)
