And of course Lr5 supports local noise reduction, so you can also clean some stuff up locally.Īlso worth noting: local sharpness = -50 (exactly) eliminates all global sharpening (but does not blur, unless you overlap pins). I acknowledge it takes more time, and you may not want to do it to each of 50 shots in a burst, but it allows you to minimize global (luminance) noise reduction (which tends to smooth feather detail in a way which is hard to recover). Or, set global low and supplement using locals. * instead of sharpening everything (even if relying on sharpening mask to some extent), set global sharpening amount to zero (or 1, at first), then sharpen subject by hand (using locals only). ) then you may prefer a lower radius sharpening, as trshaner was saying.īut, another approach for such wildlife photos is: sharp lens, in focus, sufficient shutter speed. But, more likely any "advantage" is due more to the defaults&compensations, rather than inside knowledge of sensor behavior - just a guess, but one based on experience, even if no specific inside knowledge (about Canon sensors & software algorithms) of my own.īecause of animal hair, bird feathers, whiskers, etc. It would be of no surprise to me if Canon has some advantage with rendering their own proprietary RAW camera output.Ĭanon has been working on their Digic raw->rgb engine whilst Adobe works on their process versions & camera profiles. Personally I prefer a less-sharpened image, but clearly LR can duplicate DPP's sharpening look even without applying PV2012's Highlights, Shadows, and Clarity controls. Click on the image to open it, right-click on it and select 'Save Image As,' download it to your desk top, and view in LR or PS at 1:1 to see the differences in sharpness: Here's a Canon 5D MKII image shot with a 17-40mmL using LR and DPP default settings. I find DPP very limited in it's capability to recover highlight and Shadow detail compared to LR's PV2012 process. With LR +exposure -highlights +shadows and/or +clarity AND modifying your Sharpening and NR settings you should be able to easily achieve an image that is better than DPP. In addition to Rob's suggestions try using lower Sharpening Radius and Detail settings with a higher Amount setting. But now that I'm thinking about it, PV2012 *does* seem to run a little noisy in the shadows (only), more so than PV2010 did, or DPP/NX2, so I do share that experience with you, FWIW. Similar results are had in Lr by +exposure -highlights +shadows and/or +clarity. BUT DPP may also do some intelligent contrast reduction stuff by default which can make a photo seem sharper or more clear without increasing noise. You *should* be able to get better "detail" quality in Lr by adjusting settings in the detail panel. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "image quality", because that term means different things to different people. PS - consider using a plugin like ISO Detailer to apply initial detail settings based on ISO. In which case, what cppasm said: "you can't expect Lr to render like DPP by default - you gotta set up your own defaults in Lr, and or edit first, because DPP does a bunch of stuff by default that Lr doesn't" (my words, not his/hers). This difference in image rendering is after RAW import with no images editing on either application I'm not sure what to say, except "I don't share your experience on this", but that doesn't seem particularly helpful. Maybe you are being bitten by the "Lr not sharpening and noise reducing properly" bug. Well, if you can't get the results you want by manually tweaking everything, then setting up defaults won't improve matters much.
