Are optical corrections from DXO supported?

Post by siehorst »

Hi,
once again testing and now V3:
Is it possible that PsU is not supporting all corrections handled by DxO?
I have the impression that 'optical corrections' like 'Distortion' and 'Vignetting' are not to be seen in PsU.

Re: PSu and DxO

First of all: the RAW edit interpretations from DXO, Lightroom and CaptureOne are included with the goal to make these images better visually recognizable in Photo Supreme for management purposes. The goal is not to provide "exact matches", that is impossible because how edits are applied is part of each vendor's own secrets. Each tool does things differently. For instance: the Exposure implementation in Lightroom is different from Exposure implementation in DXO and again different in C1.
Photo Supreme is a management tool and the goal is to make it easier to manage these edited pictures. If you want to see the exact edits then you have to open the image in the editor (which of course can be done from within Photo Supreme).

There are 3 levels of support, configurable in Preferences-File Handling

None: speaks for itself...no edits are interpreted
Elementary: only basic edits are applied that are nearly identical in PSU as in the editor.
Approximate: the Elementary edits are applied and some more advanced edits are applied by approximation (hence the name). The results of the approximated interpretations will be a more similar looking image, but not 100% the same.

The default is Elementary

Dear Horst,
are you still using DxO? I am running a trial of version 10 and cannot find any way to see which images have been adjusted and which ones have not. It seems in Version 10 the icons that show if images have been adjusted have been removed from the thumbnails in the image browser. Can you confirm this? I quite like the way DxO works but without some sort of indicator which files have been adjusted the program seems quite useless...

Thanks,
Frank

I use DxO too. One you export and image, then if you adjust it again it will flag as having been adjusted until such time as you re-export it. But until the image has been exported once, it won't be flagged. Personally I don't find that a problem, as I tend to process images a folder at a time. There is a feature request for what you want, though, at http://forum.dxo.com/index.php/topic,10112.0.html

However, there is a manual workaround you could use. Under the Image menu, there is an "Allow Processing" flag that you can set to yes/undefined/no, which you could use to indicate which images you've corrected - unfortunately no keyboard shortcuts. To make the flags visible, you need to change Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> -> Image Browser section -> Allow Processing, to Always On or On Mouseover.

Hi Mke,
OK, thanks for pointing that out. I had already thought about perhaps using the "allow processing" flag, but it means I need to manually tag whether an image has been processed. Not ideal, but perhaps a workaround until that feature request will be implemented in some future version...
