#ADOBE DNG CONVERTER ARW ISO#
Yes, the image is a relatively low ISO which doesn't matter, but the capture is massively under-exposed, so there is noise. Let me know what you think.įirst, the ARW in any Adobe converter has some edits. I can take this image and sharpen it aggressively without any real issue. In Lightroom the image is very fragile and any amount of sharpening, for instance, sharpens up that obvious noise which makes what was bad even worse. And, when any kind of editing is applied or sharpening done, because Lightroom seems unable to bring the RAW in clean, it only makes the issues it has worse.
#ADOBE DNG CONVERTER ARW FREE#
The Capture One image is clearly much better and free from the problems that show up in the same RAW in Lightroom. The end result is a good representation of what I see on my screen when looking at this RAW in the two different applications. Again, no processing has been done to the image in either application (no sharpening or noise reduction) and both were exported to JPG at the highest quality. One was exported from Lightroom (the latest version) and the other from Capture One - to give you an idea of the difference I see when looking at this RAW file in these two programs. To give you a frame of reference, I am also including two JPG crop exports of that area of the image. It looks more like an image that was shot at 3200 or 6400 ISO when I open it in Lightroom but even that is not the case where the noise seems to be uneven and has that weird and ugly structure in some spots such as at the hareline here. It should be almost without visible noise, never mind the storage "dirty looking" noise that appears in the image here. Keep in mind too that this is a relatively low ISO RAW image - it was shot at ISO 320. Noise is also clearly visible in the dark surface of the glasses.
#ADOBE DNG CONVERTER ARW SKIN#
For example, if you look at the young lady in the top right of the image and zoom in, you can see a strange noise effect, particularly in the skin close to the hairline where it is a bit in shadow. The noise/weird artifact issue is visible without any edits. One is the original ARW file with no edits at all. I work at high resolutions and getting clean RAW processing is an essential part of my workflow.
I've run lightrooms new AI noise reduction on it to see if that makes a difference, and it does - at least a bit - however, given the length of time that takes, that is not a practical solution for anything more than the occasional image.Īnyway, the results are so obviously inferior to Capture One Pro, I will be returning to that unless this is something that can be resolved. I've noticed it most in skin in the mid-tone transitional areas, but it is present in all areas, including as noise in solid colour areas. And under any kind of sharpening, it gets much more pronounced. I would have written that off to different default noise reduction defaults in the two programs except for the strange textured noise artifacts that I mentioned above, which seems to point to something else going on. In addition, the photos were generally just generally noisier/grainier in Lightroom than in Capture One Pro. When working on the images with Lightroom and ACR I very quickly noticed that the images seemed to have strange noise and artifacts in them. The other day, I began looking at and working with some ARW files shot with that camera in the latest Lightroom Classic (12.3) and Adobe Camera RAW (15.3) versions.
