![]() ![]() It pulls off a particularly amazing trick, incorporating layers, masking, and compositing tools into its fully non-destructive workflow. ![]() It has an Edit module with Develop, Effects, Portrait, and Local (adjustment) panels, and the Effects module alone has a vast array of filters that can be adjusted, masked, and combined in an infinite array of permutations. ON1 Photo RAW 2022 has a built-in hybrid browsing and cataloging module that gives you fuss-free exploring of your image folders but more powerful search tools if you need them. There's also an optional ON1 subscription service for Adobe-style image sharing and synchronizing with mobile devices. ON1 Photo RAW is perhaps the single most complete solution of all the programs here, and the 2022 version is the best yet, with new Sky Replacement AI, the integration of ON1 NoNoise AI, and, with the latest update, the integration of ON1 ReSize AI, previously sold separately. And then there's Perspective Efex, DxO's most recent addition, which offers powerful lens and perspective corrections, tilt-shift effects, and advanced wide-angle distortion correction. You can use the Nik Collection plug-ins with Photoshop, Lightroom, and from within DxO PhotoLab – or use them as external editors with other programs like Capture One. HDR Efex Pro is pretty handy as an HDR merging/effects tool, and while Sharpener Pro and Dfine feel pretty dated now, they can still be useful for output sharpening and noise reduction respectively. Viveza gets the same treatment and is elevated from a relatively simple local adjustment tool into a much more powerful plug-in. Silver Efex Pro remains the best digital black and white plug-in ever and is updated in this version with a fresh, modern interface, a new ClearView option, and more powerful selective control points. Analog Efex Pro is brilliant at analog/darkroom effects, while Color Efex Pro is a hugely powerful suite of filters for individual use or combined into 'recipes'. The Capture One team should learn a lot from Adobe's masking solution to speed up workflow.Nik Collection consists of eight separate plug-ins which can also be used as standalone programs. AND of course Capture One is excellent - even if it's masking tools are old school. I had a similar experience with Fuji's own RAW processing tool. ![]() I do not use NX Studio, which consistently gets 1 out of 10 for me. I am sorry but PL6 is in last place of the tools I have bought and use - it gets 3 out of 10 from my use - it is far too slow to use. LRC/PS have far far superior AI based masking tools than PL6, which seems to be very much old school and therefore slow.Ĭapture One's skin tone tools are the best of any I have used, which is why Capture One remains my go to for portraits. I have used Deep Prime XD - but prefer to use DeNoise AI for noise reduction. It also adds some basic punch to all images.ĪCR/LRC's processing of Z9 Raw files is lousy compared to the results I get from PR2. However, when processing Nikon Z9 Lossless RAW files I use DXO Pure RAW 2 (PR2) to process these Z9 RAW files into linear DNG and have found this gets me all the benefits I want from DXO's colour and optics processes. ![]() I own and use LRC,PS, Capture One (for tethered shooting and processing Phase One images), and DXO PL6 and also Phocus (for processing my Hasselblad 3FR files). ![]()
