![]() Most efficient workflow here is to open in Photolab either an already rated folder (small set) or a folder of selects only (large set). Switching between RAW files takes less than 0.5s. The inexpensive and extremely robust cross-platform obvious choice is FastRawViewer at $25 (was $15 but you’re getting v2 now, paid updates come every five years). What Photolab does need is a triage/culling tool in front of it to make sure you don’t have to try to rate all your photos in Photolab (switching between RAW files takes 1.5s to 3s depending on your computer, your GPU, your camera). ![]() The workflow in Photolab is far superior (apply suitable preset to a set and then go through select photos one by one). Forget all about how you processed photos in Lightroom. ![]() I was a big user of Curves in Photoshop and like to have curves ready at all times and where I can read the histogram where changing them. Note the Histogram palette top left with the Tone Curve palette right below it. I’d appreciate any suggestions as I really want to use this product moving forward. I’ve uploaded them to my Flickr page so you can see what I mean. So I tested with a RAW file today, put it into Lightroom and PhotoLab, exported using the exact same settings and the image from Lightroom is so much sharper, not sure if I’m missing something completely stupid but I can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve used these settings for years with Lightroom and I’ve found it allows me to post images on Facebook and it retains the quality. So I’m on a trial with DxO PhotoLab and it gives a much cleaner and sharper RAW file, much better than Lightroom, but when I export to a JPEG with settings I use for Facebook the images look blurred. I’m a long standing user of Adobe Lightroom but the way they process the RAW files from my Canon R5 has led me to look at alternatives. Complete newly here in terms of DXO products.
