Very good but .... Is it better than RT ?

I don't use it as my RAW editor but more like Photoshop. I've been testing it since it was first mentioned here and gone through all the beta updates. It's not exactly Photoshop but it's very much like Photoshop and although it lacks certain aspects (I close to never use), it has quite some improvements too. And it's very fast.

It's really a professional oriented piece of software and at a no subscription 50$ (currently 40$) totally worth the money.

It does everything I want it to do. And more.

The first serious competition PS will have.

Here are some tutorial videos if you want to check some tools/functions out.

Ron said, "The original renders the color much better."

This wasn't a very good picture to use for this thread. A better one would have been the bee on the coneflower where the color was so dull and unsaturated.

Tried highlight metering with a sunset on my D750 today. I think it's just exposure compensation really, although it could be different. I have not really looked into it yet.

Pulling shadows with the 750 Raw files are so amazing, that I pulled it twice. First time in LR I pulled it all the way to the right, and after I imported it to PS for some minor sharpening I pulled shadows again a touch more.

I think the 1st shot is just as good as the second.

Now that I'm looking at it on my good monitor, I think the after shot is actually oversaturated a little... Bleh. lol. Second shot I tried to even out by pulling back the blown highlights and recovering a lot of the shadows on the back. DxO did a pretty good job in that respect.

I have a question though. How have you managed to edit your picture and yet keep the photo information?

If you mean the EXIF data? As long as I "save" my edit instead of "save as" most of the EXIF data remains. But it's different for every program your work in. I only lose the time stamp when saving in Affinity.

That's where I've been going wrong all this time but then I've always kept originals so I could go back to them if need be.
