You are wrong. I'm not sure about "Topaz Studio 2" but that is not in the DeNoise and Sharpening tools; and in my eyes, not really something one would put in a standalone sharpening/denoising tool. Studio 2 does raw conversions, so it might be in there. I'm mostly an ACDSee guy, so I'm personally covered with geometric adjustments.

This is more support for my assertion that direct comparisons between PR output and Topaz is a red herring argument. DXO and Topaz have 2 differing workflow assumptions. (See my post below)

Takes years to start in VirtualBox, but I found this meanwhile.

Click to expand...

What does that tell us?

Click to expand...

It seems I was right, but I was never able to start Topaz Denoise AI in my VirtualBox. But why would Lensfun be in that folder if Topaz DeNoise AI wouldn't use it?

Seems to be a profile for your camera even if it looks a little bit strange from 20mm.

Click to expand...

I had the lens at the widest setting in that shot, and no lens correction was being applied. I've just tried a shot from another camera, and again, no lens correction has been applied:


DeNoise AI 3.6.2 — no lens distortion correction


PhotoLab 5 — automatic lens distortion correction

No.

I must admit, I'd never thought of it.

In reality, I only ever used the trial of PureRaw; I wasn't impressed and once that trial expired, I uninstalled and forgot about it.

I suppose it might be an idea though.

Edit: Is there such a thing as 'The DXO forum . . . ?'

A good time for you to send Topaz a bug report, if you have the profile in your compact-sony.xml file. The profile has been there since 2019.



What lens combination was the other you tried?

Even more curious is the behaviour of Sharpen AI. This still does have the Auto Lens Correction option, which is turned on by default, but it's still not correcting the lens distortion:

Indeed. How does your Lensfun folder look like? The file name for your Canon is compact-canon.xml and for Sony compact-sony.xml

Use the search tool in your OS.

Seems we will have to wait until some Topaz user can tell us more. Clearly there is a lens correction based on Lensfun, but I can't start Topaz at all in VirtualBox and you can't apply the correction.

Lensfun works in darktable and with your cameras.

Love: that it's a superb noise reduction tool, and in my hands on comparison does batch noise reduction on large folder of RAW images far better than Topaz.

No love: I was perfectly happy with version 1, had no need for version 2, but for the fact that DXO didn't upgrade version 1 to work with my new Sony A7iv. IMO, pretty chintzy that DXO makes you pay the $79 upgrade just to get it to work with the new Sony as version 1 did with my Sony A7iii. Topaz instantly upgrades its programs to work with new cam releases and doesn't charge for that.

And please spare me from the DXO enthralled users telling me about DXO costs which they say are "justified" - I reject all such opinions.
