Agreed.. I’m using 7 WITH Topaz denoiseAI. By itself it’s no better than any other RAW developer for noise.

Keywording and searches are better in X7 , but the most important feature of the...

DXO needs film pack and perspective pack to even come close to X7’s functionality, and at a higher cost than X7 with Topaz. . And still the photo browser, searches and keywording are behind. You...

I use X7 and Topaz DenoiseAI or SharpenAI and the results are excellent. Granted it’s 2 sets of programs to buy, but well worth it. I did some comparisons with DXO deep prime and I find the...

Pure Raw doesn’t have ClearView which is what makes certain landscapes pop

That is why I’ll wait for Black Friday. I need to use DXO only for a few landscape images. The workflow is edit the RAW in DXO, then export to disk as a tif. Exposure X7 is disc based, not ...

That is why Exposure X7 is the better deal. Film emulations, borders, overlays, creative vignettes, and colour filters are all part of it. And perspective control is part of it too eliminating the ...

DXO Photolab Exposure X7 with Topaz DenoiseAI -"Clear" module I’ve spent a month with the trial version of DXO Photolab 5, really trying to learn it well. My standard of comparison is Exposure X7 ...

Yes, but you can only do that in a pixel editor with layers like photoshop or affinity, not in DXO

An Topaz Denoise AI allows you mask the noise reduction. Same with Sharpen AI

We’ll, we have different experiences with Topaz and Deep Prime.  I suppose it depends on what the starting image is.  I do some processing in Exposure beforehand.  It is pretty fast  on my windows ...

As I said, everyone is different My brain gravitates to the Exposure workflow, others not. So all I am suggesting is that there alternatives to DXO which some, like me, find a better fit. I haven’t ...

I’ve been playing with the trial of DXO5 and comparing results to ExposureX7. I’ve used Exposure for 4 years now. Everyone is different, but I find the work flow of DXO clumsy. Yes there are some ...

Says a lot about the quality and resolution of those 2 lenses. Very impressive!

I've been using Exposure since X3 and have watched steady useful upgrade releases , free mid year, and paid every fall. X7 adds new features which I think are worth the upgrade fee. First: cropping ...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding of the 2x teleconverter is that it is not just a crop but also an up-resolution as well. So the image should be better than a simple crop.

I have both and I use both. The 75-300 is good for travelling light. The 100-400 I use for expeditions when the focus, so to speak, of the expedition is birding or wildlife. For me it is a ...

My account on photo.net became corrupted and I get blank images, and an error message when I try to access the chats. Before that the Volunteer administrators admitted that there us NO tech ...

I use  the 75-300 on an Oly body. I find sharpness at 300mm is good, and the reported softness is more due to very narrow DOF, atmospheric conditions at longer distances, and camera shake. YMMV.

Placed 46^th in the challenge.

Bravo... not just sharp, but beautifully framed as well.  I’m enjoying that lens too!
