using dxo lens correction with lightroom

[bleirer]

With Pure Raw, there is no way to adjust sharpening, it appears to be built into the NR algorithms. So I'm learning to be very light-handed with sharpening in ACR/LR.

I must say, I have been impressed with the results in very high ISO images when using just Pure Raw and ACR/LR.

Doesn't the lens softness correction option have some choices? That's where the sharpening is happening.

No such thing in Pure Raw - you can set the degree of NR.....but that is it.

Just looking at a screen shot on the web it looks like lens softness correction can be set to soft, standard, strong, or hard. I've only used photolab so don't really know.

Kim (Support & Assistance) Dec 13, 2024, 4:32 AM GMT+1 Hello Joel, Thanks for reaching us, In DxO PureRAW version 4, the "lens softness" correction enhances image detail and sharpness from the center to the edges, thanks to refined algorithms. The settings (Soft, Standard, Strong, Hard) adjust this correction's intensity. However, these settings do not explicitly apply "enhanced sharpening" to the entire image. For more detailed sharpening control, consider using DxO PhotoLab, which offers advanced adjustments. If you leave the slider at 0 (Soft), it primarily focuses on correcting lens softness without adding enhanced sharpening. Moving the slider to 1-3 will apply both corrections. For any color changes, try adjusting the default color rendering settings or use different built-in presets to match the original raw colors.
