We can get caught on the software replacement merry-go-round just as easily as we can get caught on the gear replacement one. These may, or may not be, the right choice for other photographers. I happen to use a combination of 4 software programs. The key is for each of us to use whatever software program(s) work best with the gear we use… and with our photographic approach. As is often said, everything photographic comes with some kind of trade-off. Just like there is no such thing as a perfect camera, there is no perfect software. Knowing how to use the software program(s) we have is far more important that what those programs actually are. I’ll try to cover the most common issues about which I’ve had questions on this blog, as well as in personal emails. Given that I added Topaz Denoise AI to my regular workflow late last year I thought an update article may be of benefit. Since I started this blog many readers have posed questions about using multiple programs. OM-D E-M1X + M.Zuiko 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 IS with M.Zuiko MC-14 teleconverter 483 mm, efov 966 mm, f/9, 1/2000, ISO-640, Pro Capture L, Bird Detection AI, cropped to 3335 pixels on the width The caveat being that it continues to function properly with Windows in the years to come. ![]() Unless I happen to add some new camera gear to my kit… which is highly unlikely… I will probably not bother updating DxO PhotoLab 4 in the future. In case you’re wondering, I have no plans to update them. Nikon 1 V3 + 1 Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 300 mm, efov 810 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO-1800Įven though my copies of PhotoShop CS6 and the Nik Collection are long out-of-date I still use them with all of my images. ![]() ![]() I now use DxO PhotoLab 4 as I needed some of the camera and lens modules that are available in that particular version. Over the years I have updated my version of DxO on an intermittent basis. Photographs have been added to serve as visual breaks. In 2020 I added Topaz Denoise AI to my process in post. I’ve been using DxO software in conjunction with PhotoShop CS6 and the Nik Collection for an extended period of time. About 8 years ago I started using DxO OpticsPro 8 as my main RAW processor. As regular readers will know, I’ve been using multiple programs in post for many years now. This article discusses some of the potential benefits and challenges when using multiple programs in post processing.
