DXO vs LR2 once again

Unread post by adakshi »

Let me show an image, processed with three different software. 1. LR2, 2.DXO, 3.Embedded jpeg(In camera processing)

1. LR2
Image

2. DXO
Image

3. Embedded Jpeg
Image

I couldn't match green. LR is warmer. Notice corner sharpness in DXO and less vignetting. Lens is 16-80.

Thanks

Call me crazy, but I like the embedded jpg most out of this set. The first two look to me like exquisitely processed pictures, while the third makes me feel like I'm there. I suppose that out of the first two I like the first for its preservation of the subtle detail and contrast in the distant trees.

I agree with Kevin - the jpeg (third) shot looks the most natrual. The other look, well, processed :D . There is something inetresting about the tree trunks in #2, but 3 is my preferred shot.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

I like the embedded one too .. but that's only embedded one, out of cam jpeg or IDC output doesn't match that.

Okay little less processed from DXO, light sharpening, Auto distortion, CA and vignetting correction, no other PP.

Image

For comparison: IDC. No PP. See how different it is from embedded jpeg. Color looks washed out.

I like the first pic on the last post.
You should also try enabling the Color Rendering tool in DxO with the profile from another camera, I like the Nikon D3x profile, the greens looks better than Sony's IMHO.

I like the second attempt with DXO. LR version is bit too saturated.
