DXO PureRAW 2 vs Photolab 5 - Settings and Outputs Compared

[@AashutoshSahu]

Hey, bro! I saw your viral video titled (How to Connect a PS5 Controller to Your Mac) which has 48K views. I liked this video a lot, after that I watched a lot of your videos and I think your video is addictive.

Excellent thanks. I am a LR Classic and Photolabs user so did a fair amount of conversing with Robin Whalley on this. We came to the conclusion that using LRC and Photolab reduces or negates the need for Pure Raw. When I take a trip I use LR Mobile to cull and do initial editing of my camera raw files (X-Pro2 and Ricoh GRIII) and then when I'm back on the iMac use DxO early in my workflow to perform the "Pure Raw" like features. Hope this makes sense.

I've always exported TIFF back to LRC though - would only make sense to export DNG back to LRC (Denoise and Optical Corrections only)

Excellent thanks - BTW I primarily use LR Classic but also complement it with DxO Photolabs and NIK filters which I've treasured for around 2 decades. Stay well.

Great comparison. I love the no-nonsense approach of PureRAW2 (currently using the 31 free trial) but wonder whether such an approach can be achieved with Photolab5, via a pre-set or batch processing?

which one is the best for reduce noise with raw format?

[@UmaiPixel]

I’d say that Photolab would be the way to go 😀
