Some you can set up and run with (I've set mine to use DeepPrime denoising and use it every time, for instance. Honestly it depends how much editing you like to do. The sharpening / de-noise tools are really quite cool.īecause often I don't want to invest a lot of time in every picture. Yes! There's an automatic DeNoising tool (including DeepPrime which is AI learning based), Lens Sharpness sliders and Unsharp Mask sliders. Yes! There's some different tools for this including Smart Lighting, Exposure Compensation, Selective Tone and Tone Curve. There isn't one.! To expand on that, several of the tools have a 'wizard' function that'll look at your image and try and work out what might suit it best (contrast, vigniting, chromatic aberration) but I don't think there's a button to try and auto-expose the whole image. It also comes with a bunch of them pre-packaged too. lest you accidentally copy a clone stamp adjustment or some other edit that was meant for a single image).īut yes, you can save changes made as presets.
would definitely recommend the free trial and see what you think.Ĭan you create some presets by your self?Ībsolutely! I find it a little cumbersome (perhaps I've just not go the hang of selecting what I want to save, right now it saves every edit you've applied to an image so you have to think about that when saving a preset. Being able to tailor the adjustment to work from Lux or Chroma is a nice touch for editing the sky for instance, when you don't want to select other objects. The local adjustments are also really good and - having spent an hour with version 5 today - it is quite good. The de-noising and sharpening options are ridiculous. It's letting me edit in ways I didn't know how before and output at a quality I couldn't before.
It's still a little slow on my PC but that might well be my PC. You can't necessarily copy 'exactly what you do in Lightroom' over to it. At first I was making big mistakes because I didn't understand what I was doing.
But I like one-time license options.ĭxO takes some getting used to in terms of layout, it's not quite as fluid as Adobe's software and it gives you all the options at once - which can be overwhelming. I've been using version 4 for the past month and just upgraded to 5.īefore that I was using the last desktop-only version of Lightroom before they went to monthly payment plans (so it may have changed for the better - and probably has!). This subreddit is mostly night mode compatible There are various places around the web you can use to host RAW files. No piracy related posts (asking for presets, trading presets, offering presets, etc.) NSFW images that are not tagged will be removed. We'd like to keep this subreddit for serious discussion only. No joke posts, memes, or rage comics, please. If several minutes have passed and your submission does not appear under NEW, try messaging the moderators, it was probably stopped by the spam filter. Post processing for video should go to /r/filmmakers. Posts not related to post processing should go in /r/photography. To share a picture, visit /r/photographs, /r/photocritique, or /r/pics. r/postprocessing is for help with editing your photo, linking to information about post processing, and sharing tips with the community. This is not the place to show off your photos. This will let the OP see how they can better edit their pictures. When you make adjustments to a photo, include the steps you took or take a screenshot of your settings. The JPEG will let us preview your shot without downloading it, and the RAW will allow us to edit it more effectively. When you submit a photo, be sure to include both a JPEG and RAW file (if available). Simply asking for others to edit your photo for you, without putting in the effort to make an attempt yourself will result in your post being removed. When asking for help editing one of your photos, you must also include your attempt. By submitting your RAW files for help, edits for critique, and questions about processing, the reddit community will be able to help you create an amazing final photo. Welcome fellow colorists, retouchers, and photographers! By using programs such as Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture, you can transform your photos - enhancing the subject, fixing composition, and setting a mood.
