The final image looks pretty decent to me. Photolemur’s final result is shown here – it doesn’t allow for any tweaking of what it does. More sharpening can, and will, be applied later. At this stage in the workflow, it’s better to under sharpen the image than to overdo it. The important thing to note is that none of the converters have over sharpened the image. Unsharp mask sharpening is global by comparison. This isn’t surprising as DXO has the smartest algorithm of the RAW converters – it sharpens the image according to its knowledge of the camera/lens combination and selectively sharpens areas of the image according to its needs. There’s no doubt about it, when the images are compared below, that DXO has produced the sharpest results. Lightroom is still the fastest, but what about the results? The Results The inclusion of these processing steps affected the time taken to process the images. I used Subtle Sharpen as we don’t want to overdo things at this stage. Smart Photo Editor – This tool provides a number of user-define sharpening presets.Luminar – its default sharpening and lens corrections.

Exposure X3 – its default sharpening and lens corrections.

Lightroom – its default sharpening and lens corrections.

At this point we’ll see the final Photolemur image as there is no way to ask it to only do the sharpening.

DXO – default camera/lens auto sharpening and auto lens corrections.

In any case, this stage of the Shootout does the following: Personally, I don’t like unsharp mask sharpening, as it is too global in nature and lacks subtlety. The final step depends on the output medium – printed images tend to need more sharpening than ones displayed on a screen.Īll the RAW converters being tested only allow for one sharpening step, with the exception of DXO, which has a specific camera/lens auto-sharpening step as well as ‘regular’ unsharp mask sharpening. Smart RAW developers sharpen the image in stages – once during RAW processing, once after enhancing the image and once after sizing the image for print/display. This part of the test looks at the converters’ ability to provide basic image corrections, in particular initial sharpening of the image.
