PP with LR and then DXO

I didn't like the way DXO handles shadow lift, I get huge green cast but it handles distortion/keystoning very well. So, lifted shadow with LR and then corrected distortion with DXO.

Probably I'd have used DXO only had it been evenly illuminated.

I know a little about PP avoid if not required. What do you think?

Doc, I used LR for shadow lifting and then used DXO for keystoning. Don't know if a better solution exists or not. I wish LR had the perspective correction tool.

Hi

This might sound stupid, but how do you process the raw with both LR and DXO, I use DXO mainly, it does a great job with CA, but even IDC does a better job with dynamic range, I find it really hard to recover details from shadows with Dxo.

Cheers, Stephen

You can dump the RAW to a TIFF, so that you don't lose anything to compression, then adjust it in one after the other. After that, you convert it to a JPG.

Thanks Dusty

I had no idea most of Dxo tools worked with tiff files :)

Just wanted to let you know that the green cast issue is now completely fixed in the current release of DxO (5.3.4)
I had the same problem :)

I think you need to qualify that. It's fixed for the A700, but not for the A900.

Really? Sorry didn't know that, thanks for the clarification.
