DXO Optics Pro To Lightroom.
Sep 16, 2012 17:31:54 #
I use DXO Optics Pro to process my raw files, 'cause I'm basically lazy and have better things to do than slave over a computer for hours. OP does it for me automatically after a little setting up work. The results are invariably better than I have managed from Lightroom, which I see as a glorified Camera Raw, unable to stand on its own without Photoshop. Just another way for Adobe to screw money out of our pockets.
The thing that puzzles me is that Lightroom is a built in onward processing connection from OP. does anyone who knows both, have any idea why you would want to take an image into an inferior processing environment from a class program like OP?

Hi Peekayoh,
Yes but I get these from my Elements 5 which gives me more than that, all the main functions of Photoshop such as layers etc. That is the point, if Lightroom were a combination of what it offers now and the main photographic functions of Photoshop (Elements of main prog) then it would be worth considering.
Having said that it still can't match up to the camera/lens specific corrections that OP provides and all done, as I say, automatically.
Best wishes

Well, I was just answering your question. Elements may give you all that you need but doesn't alter the fact that Lightroom does so much more.
I have no axe to grind here I have used Lightroom in the past, v2 I think, but I Raw process with DxO and edit with CS6.

Hi Peekayoh,
Sorry, I wasn't berating you because I agree with you. Which version of DXO do you use?
