I select an image and click on the ‘Develop’ module.įirst, I apply lens correction. I then import the PureRAW DNG files into Lightroom Classic and follow my normal LR workflow. The most obvious difference is the lens correction. It doesn’t look like PureRAW is adjusting colors, except the processed image is a tad more exposed (maybe 1/3 stop). The difference between the original CR3 and the processed DNG is very subtle. I then process them using the default settings (DeepPRIME, DNG).

The first time I did this, the program prompted me to download the modules for the camera/lens combo, which I did. I know there are several ways to integrate PureRAW with LR but not sure which is best.Īfter transferring my R5’s CR3 to my computer, I open them in DxO PureRAW. I have a basic question about how to incorporate DxO PureRAW into my workflow. I decided to download the trial for DxO PureRAW and compare it with Lightroom/ColorFidelity/Topaz DeNoise. Some have reported better results (less noise, better colors, etc.) when using DxO PureRAW to process the RAWs from the R5.

Many people have complained about the excessive noise in these images due to Adobe’s RAW processing of Canon’s CR3 files. So far, I haven’t taken a lot of low light / super high ISO shots but I probably will eventually.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with their camera profiles for the R5. Not the R5.Īfter hearing all the complaints about the R5 colors in Lightroom and the lack of camera-specific profiles, I purchase the R5 profiles from Color Fidelity. Adobe provided camera-specific color profiles for all those older cameras. I’ve been using this workflow for a long time, starting with my Canon EOS 7D, then 5D MkIII, then EOS R, and now my R5. I don’t do a lot of portraits, so skin tones aren’t a huge concern but there’s the occasional one here and again. For the most part, I’m happy with the results I’m getting with doing 90%+ of my post-processing with Lightroom Classic. I depend on Lightroom for my photo management and prefer to keep using it. My workflow has always been to import my RAW files into Lightroom Classic and then use Photoshop and/or several plugins (Topaz Sharpen or DeNoise).
