For wildlife, people, flowers, any distinct subject, this is great. Once you have selected the area you want, you can make adjustments with the tool.
(Sometimes it helps to get the tool out of the way - press E to toggle it on and off.) You can use negative points, to select areas you don't want, by click Alt + click. You can then click to place another point any other parts that are not selected. When you have placed a control point, you can see what part of the image is affected by pressing M. I used to use the automask most, but now I prefer control points. If I can suggest one thing, it's this: get to know how the local adjustments work. I seem to be able to attain final processed images with only a few clicks and slidesGreat to hear your experience Craig.
#Filmpack 5 photolab trial#
I've been spending a few hours playing with my trial versions of Photolab 5 and Film Pack 6.So far, I'm very impressed with the package. So, it was an interesting first date, but it's not you, it's me, C1 21. It's also got a lot of horsepower packed in under its hood, and turned out pretty good results, but I never clicked with the interface and layout. I also downloaded a trial of Capture One 21. Still want to test a few more functions, but I'm pretty sure I'll be saying 'buh-bye now' to RawTherapee (except for developing Pixel Shift images). I played with several K-3 Mark III studio images from Imaging Resource, and concluded I can gain a couple of stops improvement in high-ISO quality over any of my other processing packages. Usually, just a few tweaks are necessary, such as contrast and minor toning.Īnd the Denoising function - yo, where have you been all these years?! Wow. In some cases, the default settings are sufficient, owing to the 'Smart Lighting' and Lens Sharpness functions. The camera/lens modules are super! Love it. The interface layout is attractive and relatively simple. There have been several images in which I preferred the RT results, but only by a slight margin. In almost all cases, my final images have been better than my RT outputs. I seem to be able to attain final processed images with only a few clicks and slides it's certainly much more efficient than RawTherapee. So far, I'm very impressed with the package. I've been spending a few hours playing with my trial versions of Photolab 5 and Film Pack 6. DxO PhotoLab - DxO Forums you can either join or lurk. Now I have what I had in PL4.Another nice resource for PhotoLab is the DXO Forum. The panel takes up a lot of space because it includes author, copyright, keywords, GPS, etc, but the extra data can be hidden with the More button. This creates a new panel below the Move/Zoom box. One minor irritation was not having the image data (camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO) shown when working on a photo in Customize. I will still need to use ExifTool Gui for that.Įdit 24 Oct: I used PL5 for the first time yesterday. I do this routinely to fix the names that are not properly recorded and to copy the lens name from MakerNotes to Exif, so that it is read by Flickr. Unfortunately it still can't edit fields like Lens name. This is handy - for example you can change the date or time of the image if you discover that it was wrongly set in the camera (e.g. They both talk about keywords, and interoperability with LR and PS, but don't mention the new ability to edit the metadata. (Robin Whalley's videos about post-processing are always worth watching.) Įxcellent review of the new features in PL5 here:ĭxO PhotoLab 5 Review of New Features - YouTube
#Filmpack 5 photolab pro#
But I guess I will stay with my old Capture One Pro version 20 and save the money - maybe to support the purchase of the DFA21 Limited. I really can tell that I like DxO PhotoLab 5. So - in the end it was a good thing to investigate this software. Does it make sense to buy a DxO PhotoLab 5 license? I'm not sure about this. But at the end the lens correction modules are still the most impressive thing I'd be interested in. May be that I could get there with DxO PhotoLab 5 too. Mostly I immediately know which tools of capture one I should use to get the images how I want them. So I'm not too much interested in DxO's packages. I mostly don't use styles or standard presets. Although I could reconstruct these results nearly perfectly in capture one pro using the color editor and color balance tool I am very impressed by this.
#Filmpack 5 photolab skin#
I was surprised of the IMO very good rendering of portraits skin presentation of DxO PhotoLab without any self applied adjustments - tested with raw captures of KP and very old ones of my K5.
Haven't used C1 so I can't compare.Did some more tests and compared it to C1Pro 20.
