>>3787535>it was a very good investment when I started out on MFT and essentially 1600 iso was still looking greatI try avoiding going beyond ISO 800 when I can on MFT. I've switched to using B&W high ISO film for low light photography where long exposures are "impossible".
>DxO's strength is basically the speed with which you can cook your raws.Deffo, and the fact that I can export and then move onto the nexttt picture is just really convenient.
> I would even bet, you didn't dial up saturation/use vibrance a lotI used vibrance to get the colour out of the red bricks. I used ClearView to try to make the roof tiles not be this weird grey mush (and also make the clouds look more interesting).
>CPUs from that time still perform well enough, so who cares.They do indeed. I still keep getting pestered by people telling me I should "upgrade" my CPU to some Ryzen offering from the last year or so, without realising that to change CPUs involves changing motherboards and RAMs... and at that point, I might as well buy a brand new PC.
>>3787537>Once you make the conscious decision to develop your own style, you're going to ditch the program anyways.Maybe, but that's going to be a time when I either completely change camera systems, or I have the disposable income to pay for DxO Elite.
>>3787817>Are you perhaps using some pirated version of dxo?No, free trial version. Wanted to see what it was like after I got really fucking tired of Olympus Workspace (Olympus' Lightroom bootleg) crashing arbitrarily. Plus, seeing as what's going on with Olympus, I don't think JIP has much interest in keeping Workspace alive with further updates.
>>3787819>dude that's still a pretty beastly processor.Most people I talk to seem to disagree, and think I should "upgrade" asap.
Pic Rel is another DxO example.
