Hi, thanks for the review, comparison and shared images.

I have a question regarding Digital Lens Optimisation: you can only choose 3 lensprofiles in-camera to apply DLO direct to the JPEG's.

(In RAW you can switch it on and off in DPP for any lens that has a profile)

When shooting RAW+JPEG, which lenses benefit most from DLO: the zooms (11-22, 15-45, 18-150 and 55-200) or the primes (22, 28 and 32)

Thanks in advance for your time,

kindest regards,

In my experience, the wider zooms have the most complicated aberrations and corrections needed (especially CA). Especially the 'kit zooms' EF-M 15-45 and 18-150, so I'd go with those and then choose another zoom you commonly use.

I switched from Canon DPP4 to DxO's PhotoLab 4 back in August, and find its lens corrections excellent --- as good as or better than DPP 4's --- and they are completely seamless, automatically applied so you don't even think about them. If you shoot RAW that might be an option to consider. DxO's de-noise is also amazing, far better than DPP, allowing you to shoot in at least 2 EV lower light with great results.

The images I get from DxO are always better than what I got from DPP4, so much so that I have gone back and quickly reprocessed many images in DxO I had spent a lot of time processing in DPP 4 originally.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for sharing your experience. Based on the logic that zooms are more prone to abberations than primes due to their more complex build, i had arrived at the same conclusion and have loaded  the 11-22, 18-150 and 55-200 DLO profiles.

Also thank you for pointing out the benefits of DxO compared to DPP. I plan on trying the trail-download the coming holiday season.

kindest regards,
