![]() ![]() I will take out some of my older DSLR bodies, D200, and A99 with supported Zeiss native mount lenses, this weekend. I did notice few things:ġ) Supported camera and lenses for Leica is pretty limited compared with others (Canon, Nikon, Sony and others) Ģ) File size of the processed files increased more than 75% compared to the original files (for both Leica and Nikon files) ģ) File precessing time for each file is about 30 sec on my iMac (4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor). I tried some Leica M9 and Nikon D200 images files and outputs are better than expected. I just downloaded the trial version and am very pleased with the results. I have not looked for a PC version but there are many out there:įred, thanks for sharing your experience with DXO Pure Raw. Here is a link to the one that works on the Mac. PS: is the Software Exif Editor, Photos Exif Editor or Image Exif Editor? A link? It's good news for all SL2/SL2-S owners.Īs I have a Panasonic DC-S1, it natively works and DxO PL4 DeepPrime is very useful.Īnyway, thank you very much for the community! (It was a mistake since the camera was set to Auto ISO when shooting from a tripod)īasically dxo pure raw saved me! and I was upset that it didn't support the SL2 or SL2-S cameras. Here is a link to the workflow I used for some of my high ISO Hawaii files using the Leica M9 as described above: Where there is a will there is always a way.my project for this weekend! Same image taken with Sigma 100-400 DG DN 400mm (f/7.1)Įqual LR sharpness applied to both DNG files.ġ00% crop (1:1) showing the difference at pixel level I like to do that because it's fast and will give the correct camera name for your files. The conversion is fast is you have a power GPU video card.Īs an optional last step, you could run the resulting PR DNGs in "Exif Editor" again and rename Q2 to SL2 back. So, just disable it before processing the files. The only remaining and necessary step is to disable any DXO modules, as it will think you have a 28/1.7 lens and apply the wrong correction to your SL2 lenses. Once that's out of the way, PR will work with the modified DNGs! So, you could batch the content of your SD card and change the camera model name all at once. It's very simple and intuitive and can batch an entire DNG folder. However, the "Exif Editor" app (mac) did the trick. For example, "Photos Exif Editor" for the Mac resulting DNGs are not compatible with DXO's engine. A few of them did the job but DXO PR would still give errors. So, knowing the SL2 and Q2 share the same sensor (aside from microlenses array design) and identical file size, noise/DR characteristics are pretty much the same, I decided to try a few hacks to see if I could get PR to work with the SL2 DNG files and after some trial and error, it worked!īasically you need an EXIF editing software that allows the "Camera Model Name" to be changed from SL2 to Q2. Last year, there was a DXO talk about adding support to it (Feb, 2020) but it never happened and I don't even know if it will. So, I was very excited to try high ISO SL2 files on it, but found out that the camera is not supported. The noise was gone and all the detail was still there.actually fine detail looked sharper! This was disheartening but after converting the DNG files through PR, it was a miracle. During my previous trip to Hawaii, at one evening, had mistakenly set ISO to AUTO and all of my images were ruined by the high ISO setting the camera chose even though I was shooting on tripod. It outputs a DNG file and the results are very impressive. It does this before demosaicing hence the name "pure" raw. It's too much to be true but in this case, it is! Basically, it reduces noise (luma and chroma) while actually improving resolution/sharpness of RAW images. ![]() In my opinion, DXO Pure RAW is a game-changer software and it's the only DXO software I use. ![]()
