Title: DXO 8
Post by: BernardLanguillier on August 19, 2013, 09:38:36 pm
I have been using DXO only for my RX100/Nikon V2 files, but have also started to use it as my main converter for D800 files shot at higher ISOs. I am very happy about the results I am getting! C1 Pro remains my converter of choice for lower ISO images.

All shot with a 300mm f2.8 VR. Still amazed by the AF of the D800!

Superb images, really. Initially, I thought that the white balance was on the green side… but I measured some patches and that must be my eyes. Time to visit the doctor…

Thanks for sharing!

Great images. I love to attend the drumming , which one can do anywhere within 1 to 2 km of the actual event.  :)

Which seems to suggest, at higher ISOs, you prefer the results you're seeing with DXO over what you see with C1 Pro? What in particular do you prefer?

More accurately, I find the automatic adjustment of noise reduction settings as a function of ISO superior when dealing with a set of images shot using auto ISO.

The noise reduction built-in DXO is also IMHO one of the best compromises available today.

I would need a huge amount of time to find the optimal noise reduction settings in C1 Pro to get close but I don't think I would reach the same quality anyway.

Bernard

Bernard,

if you have some spare time, could you post 100% crops of two tack sharp D800 files, one with low ISO and the other with high ISO, both developed in CO7 and DXO 8, base settings? I would greatly appreciate that.
