Hello,
I'm creating this topic because I've been wondering for some time about the use of the Lens Sharpness parameter in DXO PureRaw3. I tested the off mode then in low, normal and high and I find that on the chosen image (image slightly noisy) the best result obtained is without the activation of sharpness of the lens in the software.
I would like to know if you use the lens sharpening mode and if so how? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Cool
Hi Dristeur,
I just saw this pop up due to a recent reply. I'm a recent adopter of DxO PureRaw 4, and I shoot micro four thirds, so what follows may or may not apply directly to you.
I've been finding that for some images and lenses, I like the results of DxO PR4 at the default settings (normal sharpening and AI-based noise reduction). But I have some combinations where the program seems to lead to weird artifacts. For example, the noise reduction has interacted strangely with some of my attempts at wide-field astrophotography (it tries to make some kind of pattern out of the random arrangements of stars and brightness in a Milky Way photo); for these images I've found I often prefer the more simple-minded noise reduction in a general raw developer like RawTherapee. Lens sharpening sometimes still leads to haloing and other weirdness when I pixel-peep; and since I photograph some natural history subjects where details matter, this can be a problem. DxO PR4 is not a fast program, so I haven't played with multiple settings, but I've come to the conclusion that this sort of thing is a tool among many, not a panacea.
You've probably figured this out on your own, but I thought I'd at least share impressions.
Cheers,
Mark
