![]() ![]() I was able to capture some nice images to work with this morning on my sunrise hike in the high country. In addition it is possible to also export the results directly into Photoshop which brings up the ACR or lightroom module where I can adjust colors, exposure, contrast and saturation, plus all the wonderful masks and corrections that are now available in the current ACR and Lightroom products. Higher ISO images look better with Pure Raw so for those I import them one at a time into Pure Raw for processing.įrom there I click the process button to start the Pure Raw conversion which provides me with the option of selecting the Deep Prime AI conversion, the output format for which I like DNG, and a file location for the new DNG file. I don’t see much difference between ACR with Topaz and Pure Raw on lower ISO images, so I can just use ACR to process those. Once the key words have been supplied I go through the project labeling and ranking the images until I’m ready to start creating the high resolution JPG images for printing and uploading to image agencies.Īt that point I take a look at the metadata and decide whether I want to use ACR and Topaz to process the image or go to Pure Raw. The Viewer in PhotoScape X allows you to rate and flag images, although the library isn’t as powerful as Lightroom’s. The Mac version offers a Photos extension that instantly connects your Photos library for seamless organizing and editing. At that point I can bring up Adobe Bridge to do all my key wording and initial processing for easy organization and future reference. PhotoScape X is a free image editor for Mac and Windows. At about a minute per image to process, it would be prohibitive to wait 2,000 minutes for a complete conversion on a big project of 2k images so I had to think hard about how to handle such a load.Įventually I decided to abandon DNG and just copy the images straight off the SD card into a raw folder on my desktop computer. However, processing is a bit slow if you want to use the Deep Prime AI model for the most benefit. Pure Raw is simple enough to use, you can browse and select or drag and drop the raw images you want process into the image window. However I have recently been won over by the cleaner sharper images produced by processing my raw images with Pure Raw. Since then Adobe came up with the subscription option and I have since then had the most current version of all the Adobe products. At that time I was unable to afford the Photoshop upgrade with the version of Camera Raw that could process the 40D so my only option at the time was Adobe DNG. Since 2007 when I bought a Canon 40D I have been using Adobe’s Digital Negative Converter to process my raw images. I’m having to adopt an entirely new workflow to accommodate DXO Pure Raw.

Actually, compared side-by-side, RAWTherapee’s output looks slightly soft, but it looks a lot “cleaner”. I've used RawTherapee as my RAW conversion tool (which is free software available. (Obviously the 2 different programs use different methods, so you can’t really compare “numbers” when moving sliders) I rather like RAWTherapee’s sharpening better than Lightroom, maybe it’s just my method of sharpening, but Lightroom seems to create an awful lot of sharpening artifacts. The +1.6 value is for “Edges” so I think it’s the one equivalent to Lightroom’s. ![]() Sharpening (Radius): +0.63 (or +1.6, I’m not sure which slider value to put, so I’ll put them both.Blacks: +2454 (Don’t ask me what those numbers stand for, I don’t know!).(I don’t know whether green/purple is the same, but I don’t think it is.) I did set the blue/yellow WB to be the same in both programs, to keep the color tint about the same. Now, if you compare this comparison to my last one, these two photos are a lot more similar. You can use FastStone Image Viewer to compare 2 photos side-by-side if you wish.)Īnd finally, the edited photo from RAWTherapee! (Click on any photo to open in Flickr, where you can view at 100%, or download to view at your convenience with your favorite software. It is a free-to-use and open-source software that can recognize multiple formats from RAW to JPEG. ![]() It has been designed for non-destructive and post-production needs of touching up photos. The interface and tools are a cross between Photoshop and Lightroom. It has been designed for non-destructive and post-production needs of touching up photos. RawTherapee is a multi-platform photo-editing program that Gbor Horvth of Budapest developed. Raw Therapee is completely free open-source software that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. First, here’s an un-edited shot exported from Lightroom… RawTherapee is a multi-platform photo-editing program that Gábor Horváth of Budapest developed. ![]() This is the same RAW file processed with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7, and RAWTherapee 4.2.1. I’ve already posted a quick comparison on this thread, but I decided that I’d better start my own thread so I don’t hijack that one! ![]()
