I knew that ARC/LR and SP are applying lens correction by default, but I didn't know that it is so much. Not for all lenses and not for every focal length of the zooms.
here is example of DxO/C1/RT and blue lines are area of ARC / SP default lens correction. Can I switch it off in SP?
ARC full size
Hi ,
There is a easy fix. As Silkypix is a great and quite unique software , it works in a different way.
Thank you, now I have more image, but still DxO/C1/RT a bit wider
hello i checked a image which is in a need of correction:
and i Agree in some points:
look at the greyed out section. (i think it's because vignetting correction this cut off.)
i took a over the max crop, (which i can't in DxO) 4797x3570 pixels exact cropped is 4689x3516
dxo's max crop.
ok when i turn off the lens module in DxO THEN i have more view and pixels.
left no correction cropsize in optical module active dxo right side SP.
So it's true : in SP i turned off the optical correction in LAcontroller shading, distortion and CA.) (Note and important: panasonics shade correction in menu active means a burned in correction in the RW2. causing a double shade/vignetting correction in DxOPL.) (Silkypix i seeing that flag of active and doesn't do this.)
Ok now for real corrected in viewpoint 100% perspective: (i noramlly use 80%/85% to gain some extra viewangle but for the sake of comparing i use the 100%
one click does all:
no module then optical module actvie then perspective active 100%
see crop
now the same methode as SP:
cropped as wide as possible;
silkypix
dxo perspective crop
i think nearly identical.
What i find very good in silkypix is there dehazing/clarity/blacklevel/contrastbalance tools. And the two auto white balance modes to get rid of colorcasting.
DxO's WB module is far from finished. no finetune tools other then the use of local controlpoints.
i often use Silkypix's auto modes to get numbers for dxo to fill in in the WB module to get a fast corrected WB. because the eyedropper isn't get the right WB.
Dark adjustment (shadow correction in colormanagment) multilightsource comp
Silkypix has great neutralisers for shadow color correction:
pulled shadow up and sp holds the color it's only fading wile DxO got magenta.
ok it's a extreme high dynamic range image but let's say there is some work left for dxo.
(don't get me wrong DxOPL is a joy to work with, fast and quick in use ( ok i know my way much better in there then in spv10 (was used to UI of v5) they placed great tools and local tools in there powerfull viewpoint but i hope they catch up in some points on silkypix's power.
last compare is contrast control.
clearview plus uses micro contrast to create a combination of blacklevel and sharpening to "dehaze" wile i can choose in Silkypix a Clarity and a "dehaze" and a blacklevel.
Silkypix is simpler in use:
plain contrast, contrast centre (where does the contrast lay heavy on the tone curve) then the black level and Dehaze (dehaze is a fine adjustment of blacklevel) then a sharpening microcontrast adding "clarity"
DxO is also very customable when you have filmpack.
fine contrast, behaves a bit like "dehaze of SP.)
the threesome "highlights,midtone's Shadows" is applying sectional "sharpening"/contrasting. minus softer, plus sharper.
Clearview plus is a powerfull semi smart tool. it adds microcontrast on edges to enhances them. saturating colors at the same time. tricky because oversharping is a commen problem when used heavy. so i often use tonecurve tool to drag blacklevel section down and finecontrast to avoid oversharpening with clearview.
5 min compare of sp and dxo.
i do like the plain clear slides sp provides neatly separate use of tools against the more combining slider actions i need to do in dxo.
BUT, because i am very used to DxO's quirks i can work quick in this contrast/sharping balance act.
except the colorcasting in lowlight and shadow's.
As i wrote i am not used to use silkypix anymore but i need to train my self more because it's such a powerfull toolset with some unique assets.
sorry for the rant, i got enthousiast i gues :-D
quick edits:
dxo.
sp
and the finedetail denoising against deepprime..
fine detail
(i hope it's my lack of skill in sp.)
deepprime default 40% against sp finedetail.
100% crop. left dxo right sp.
ok i am done...
