Used DPP4 for all shots in post. C-RAW, DLO applied. Reduced noise reduction from defaults on every shot; apologies in advance to those who prefer "clean" images over grain detail. It's sorta like Coke vs Pepsi, some folks prefer clean shots others prefer to retain the detail with some noise retained with it.

Great shots RLight.

So, have you settled for DLO for processing all your pictures from Canon EF-M lenses ?
I was searching for opinions on DLO and came across this post.
I also decided to stick to C-RAW and tend to turn off all kinds of noise reduction.
But DLO, I'm not so sure since I've not made comparison tests, there has to be some drawback.
DLO might be most beneficial with low end lenses, I wish the M6II could hold more than 3 lenses data sets in memory.

Thanks for sharing !

I've personally done a number of tests in DPP4 with DLO on and off and could never tell a difference. I, too, am a bit unsure about where it is supposed to help. DxO, Lightroom, and RawTherapee/ART do a better job of sharpening in my experience. I posted some examples in this thread, though the sharpness differences are all pretty minor in these examples:

I have to agree that “base” sharpening is handled better by LR, absolutely.

Havent touched RawTherapy/ART yet. I am sold on Ubuntu though. Fighting with idiosyncrasies with it presently hence my silence on the forum. Dumb stuff like WiFi drivers for the AX210, stink. Real performance is hobbled to 375mb, even with a 1440 negotiation, except only in Ubuntu. Windows it’s fine. That’s a driver right there…

That's unfortunate. I've never had much trouble with drivers on Linux, but if your hardware is new you should probably run something with the most recent kernel available. With Ubuntu, that would be version 22.04 I believe.

It's the Intel Generic driver at fault here; it won't break 400mb/sec in total throughput in Ubuntu, on any Intel WiFi card on 22.04 (8265, AX200, AX210). Downstream and upstream are to no avail either. The 8265 can hit 515mb/sec in Windows and the AX2 series, both of em, hit around 800-900mb/sec, as can copper so that's a nascent (Debian) driver in play.

Going to give some Broadcom based WiFi adapters a shot as those are third party drivers that I noted are still active in terms of development. I've read mixed things about the N1535 on Ubuntu, but in theory if it's stable at 5ghz, then it's a boon (only 2x2 adapter that can manage MIMO I believe outside of the Intel AX2 series, and can fit in a AE slot). Broadcom has been the defeacto "King" of WiFi for years now, really it's the marriage between RivetJoint and Intel that challenge it, but, only in Windows at that.
