Help between Lightroom 4 and Oloeno PhotoEngine

I have tried Oloeno and found it was far too complicate for me (denoise)

Let summarize the sirtuation : Adobe Raw converter is foine for at least 80% of shots where you get all the features of the software to adjust as much as you ned and refine your development

With X Trans and adobe ACR engine there are 2 issues loss of small details especially in foliage , which is an issue if foliage is the main subject of the shot

Then comes color bleeding that can appear (not always) on posts Ex headers and titles on posters for advertizing or congress with high contrast and colors

Solutions I use in such conditions development in the provided RFC (Silky) or with helicon Filter 5 minimal adjustments and settings export in TIFF 16 bits to ACR for fine and final adjustments

Helicon is the best for small details recovery BUT adds minutes small round artefacts in some high contrats areas not visible at A3 print size (could be an issue with cropping)

RFC does not produce artefacts but does not mitigate completely color bleeding

All in all, these are not so frequent issues they apply in landscape with small details. For all the 80% remaining the ACR engine is fine and much more easy and effective.
