The last time I did a direct comparison of LR vs DCU was many years, and many software versions, ago. My general conclusion at that time was the I preferred the colour output from DCU but the LR results had more detail and less noise. In the end it is a case of "choose your weapons"...

Hi Doug,

This is exactly what I was trying to explain. For sure you ended up with similar visual results before you saved your processed files. However, because they were shown you by those two different editors differently, you ended up with the results you didn't wish to have!

I mean, one editor showed you perfectly sharp image, because it used (its own default) sharpening strength of 45. So didn't need to to touch it. But the second editor applied 0 amount of sharpening, so you changed it to 45. And now what? When you open your first file (for viewing) in another editor viewer, the image will appear less sharp than the second one. Because you didn't apply any sharpening as you were fooled by that first editor, which showed you a perfectly sharp image.

Well, I might be completely wrong, especially if those editors not only show you images with the specific parameters, but those parameters will be automatically saved as part of your processing.
