[QUOTE="hark, post: 848385, member: 13196"] My intention wasn't to sharpen the overall photo or decrease the bokeh. Since I didn't have any bird photos with feathers at hand, I decided to use this photo of Micah and do a comparison of sharpening between the two programs. The first program (On1 NoNoise 2027) always produced more sharpness than DXO Pure RAW 6. I figured with feathers or fur, I'd be able to get a better view of the differences in sharpening. Recently I took photos of Aztec dancers with my D500 coupled with my 24-120mm f/4 lens. A couple years ago I calibrated the lens. But due to some physical limitations, I haven't taken many photos during the past couple of years. And I wound up being appalled by the lack of sharpness from the combo. If I had relied on DXO Pure RAW 6, I wouldn't have been able to share many of the images. On1 NoNoise 2027 made them usable ... not perfect, but they were okay. [/QUOTE]
