Their DxO Optics 9.5 is a full blown RAW developer software solution including some of the best optical corrections on the market, and….

But that’s not the only thing they have on the market of course. The fun part is that both filmpack and Alien Skin Exposure are both “film emulators” but still both have different looks and behaviors so this is the reason I’m actually using both on a daily basis. When I want a bit more deeper control I will use Alien Skin Exposure 6 but filmpack has some pretty awesome options. In short Lightroom is what is on my computer screen a lot and when I search the archives it’s actually the only software I use.ĭxO is a company I’ve grown to love over the last few years, they have a really cool plugin for Photoshop called DxO filmpack which actually is my standard go to tinting software if I need some special looks. Lightroom is where all my files “life”, it’s my hub where I keep everything combined, make smart albums, label and keyword my images, and yeah I’m even using their GPS map module.

Adobe has several software packages I use including Premiere for video, Lightroom and Photoshop of course, and I have to be honest I LOVE all their products, and probably that’s also the reason that they are the standard in the industry for so many people. I think it’s no secret that Adobe is a huge company and their products are among the best photographers use, in fact it’s the standard for most professional workflows. So in this post I will tell you my opinion and how I use them, this might differ from yours of course.įirst lets look at my opinion on them and when/why/how I use them.

Well let me start with saying that there is no 100% best solution, in this blogpost I can only tell you what my experiences are and my results, the problem is that all three convertors are strong in certain areas and less strong in others but none is the strongest in all. I think that on software this is probably one of the most asked questions “Frank which RAW convertor do you use and which one do you advise?”
