Chris - I've watched all of this series and your content is very informative. My only negative comment is that you really need a much faster PC/Mac. Trying to assess different results when there is such a lag between renderings is not only off-putting but makes the comparison much trickier.
Agreed, at viewing distances, probably makes no difference between the versions for noise reduction. I love my DxO PhotoLab 7, and loved 5 and 6 too. I don't use Adobe products. I always thought every MFT camera should come with 3 mos. free versions of DxO PhotoLab. Would probably sell a lot of cameras and software ;-) On my MacBook Air M2 version, it takes well less than a minute to save out a DeepPrime XD from a 20 or 25 MP image to a 3000px longest-edge jpg at 95% for the phone. Odd, are you out of memory? Even my old Intel Mac Pro only took a few minutes on 30MP files with DeepPrime and the old DxO PhotoLab.
These early videos were done on an Intel based MacBook Pro, plenty of memory and working on a detachable drive. It was good enough for most editing, a bit laggy on panoramas but noise reduction stopped it in its tracks. I bit the bullet in the spring and bought an M3 based MacBook Pro. Next one to go will be the Mac Mini. Re Software, at one stage Leica were giving away Silver Efex pro with their Monachrom cameras. Always thought that was a great idea. Price point a little high though.
Install a geforce 3060 (rather cheap GPU card nowadays) and my 12mp file exports in less than 5s for deeepprime, on my old pc with just cpu it took more than 5 min, i export each NEF file with deepprime since in DxO Photolab because its more than denoizer its also raw optimizer !
That's interesting, I use a mac mini about two years old, and it takes longer than five minutes, definitely a full tea break. Completely agree about using DeepPRIME in PhotoLab for the raw optimisation capabilities. Photo\lb is certainly better than Lightroom in this respect.
Hello, Like watching your videos at the moment and learning a lot. My PC is fairly new and has been built with photo processing in mind. As result I get deep prime xd exports from photolab in a few seconds, certainly not 22 mintues. As some other commentators have already mentioned. So pretty glad I spent a bit more on the hardware.
PhotoLab uses the same de-noise tools. The only difference is the latest PureRAW adds one new tool which I expect will show up in PhotoLab as an update at some point.
@@chriswrightphotographs Thanks for the insight, seems like there's a lot of value in spending a little more to get the entire editor. Probably going to do that, instead of just PureRaw.
I installed a RTX 3060 graphics card and tested 10 images with deep prime took a total of 50 seconds (5 seconds each) . Prior to getting a faster graaphics card the same 10 images took a total of 3 minutes. The times you quote in the video sound awful by comparison.
They do sound awful! For the video I used PureRAW on a single picture and that took a long time. Although since that time is pushed to the export process in PhotoLab it doesn't really affect me. Hard to swallow, but it's clear that my two year old Mac Mini is already obsolete!
@@chriswrightphotographs I use photolab with deep prime enabled by default for all images. My windows pc is 4 years old AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight Core CPU.
Yes, you can multi select in library view, from the working directory or a project view. Then it will export the images and apply noise reduction as selected in the Customise Module

Thanks, I know, I'm saving up! Another issue is the screen recorder - it eats memory. If anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears!

Great to hear! I succumbed to reality and bought a new laptop last week. Massive difference.
Is pure raw included on photo lab? Or is it doing something different from what the de-noise tools in photo lab can do?

@@ams914 There is much to recommend PhotoLab!

@@stefanmarch Galling! I just looked up a new Mac Mini with the M2 chip €1.5 Next week's video is about composition!
Is there away to batch process in photolab 7 like dxo pure raw? Thanks for the video very informative.
