It’s fairly long but I will show you a few of the tools and how they work, as well as a few snags and issues I ran into along the way (all listed below in the pros and cons as well). Instead of reading more about what I think about it – watch the video now.
My editing and software experience includes:
I wanted to see how intuitive the program was, and whether or not I could figure things out without resorting to looking things up in the user manual or finding a video about it on YouTube. Please keep in mind that I approach this with all my years of experience not just in photography, but doing photo editing as well – both the old analog way and digitally. So if you want a no-holds-barred, straight-up talk, and a slightly brutal review of ON1 Photo RAW 2022 – this is it! About my perspective
Then I will give you my first impressions and a full list of all the PROS and CONS of the software, from my perspective.įinally, in the end, you’ll get a quick summary and my recommendations of who I think this program is good for, and who should avoid it.
The new DXO Pure raw seems to be more advanced in this lightroom workflow, this is why I suggested it to you to avoid the TIF with Topaz.The first thing I wanted to do was to see if they have fixed or added any of the features I gave a thumbs down to three years ago. I don’t use photolab 4 a lot because I prefer NIK, ON1 and Luminar AI as lightroom plugins BUT I have learnt that, compared to other plugins it has a better workflow with lightroom, meaning they can in a certain sense share dng and lightroom catalog. I updated my old NIK collection to V3.3 (non destructive in lightroom for one plugin) and considered DXO photolab 4 at same time because I had some nostalgy of the U-points I used in the past in capture NX2. I don’t have the opportunity to travel a lot like you due to my job,įamily reasons and confinement for 1 year so I spend hours to play with theseĪnd help my friends to retouch and boost their pictures… I like to buy tutorials, softwares (topaz, NIK3.3, DXO, ON1, Luminar AI), photoshop panels (F64, TK/Lumenzia, Infinity color grading+B&W) and presets, especially on black friday ?
