![]() Notice that you won’t see the effects of Deep Prime straight away. To turn on Deep Prime, select an image, and go to the detail tab in the corrections interface (top right) and under the Denoise heading turn Deep Prime on. ![]() However, when DXO added Fujifilm support they tapped into the Deep Prime engine to get superior raw conversions, and this seems to hold true based on my experience. So, what is Deep Prime? The technology uses artificial intelligence to denoise an image at the demosiacing stage of the raw conversion process. To get the best quality conversions with PhotoLab, you need to use the software’s Deep Prime noise reduction technology. ![]() If you hadn’t read that previous article, don’t worry, I’m going to cover everything again now anyway. The second thing that is different, is that you’re only going to use the DNG with optical corrections only setting. The first is that you don’t need to worry about setting the colour profile, as you’re going to set that in Lightroom anyway. The settings to use when pre-processing files in PhotoLab are more or less the same as what I recommended in my previous article about using PhotoLab for Fuji files, but with a few exceptions. How to pre-process in PhotoLab and what settings to use Just click download when the pop-up dialog appears. If it’s the first time you’ve used this lens and camera combination in PhotoLab, it will ask you to download the corresponding Lens Correction Module(s). This will then open the RAW files in PhotoLab. From the File Menu, choose: Plug-in Extras > Transfer to Photo Lab 5.In Lightroom, Select the photos you want to send to PhotoLab.Here’s what to do to send your images to PhotoLab Luckily, PhotoLab makes it easy to send files from Lightroom to Photo Lab and back. Given the time and file sizes involved, you’re probably better processing one at a time, or in small batches. I would ask DxO to please give us faithful DxO supporters and IVa users some information as to their intentions.As with any of these kinds of workflows, you’re presented with two options - convert everything first, or process images one at a time. Having actively supported DxO with every release since PhotoLab 1 Essential, I feel let down and noted that there must come a time (2 months, 6 months, 1 year or forever) when zero access to PhotoLab 4 Elite will mean I will have to reluctantly move to another editing software. I therefore pointed out to DxO Support that DxO should be proactive in supporting the IVa and letting IVa owners know what it intends to do rather than the usual which is it may or may not depending on requests. Sony A7R cameras are used by many professionals and amateurs ie this is not some obscure product. I do not understand why a photo which was taken with a III and is recognised by Sony Play Memories Desktop as taken with a III is not recognised by PhotoLab 4 nor do I understand why photos taken by a camera which supposedly only has physical changes is also not supported. I spent some time going back and forth with DxO Support including submitting one ARW file taken with the IVa but was told that despite Sony stating that the changes were primarily physical that each camera “encrypts the RAW files from that specific model in a unique way” and all I could do is put in a request. Knowing that Photolab 4 supports the IV I thought I was set but no, all files including those taken a day before with my III but downloaded from the IVa are not recognised. I understand the main differences between the IV and IVa are a higher resolution rear screen and a higher specification USB port and fixing some “bugs”. ![]() I traded in my A7R III last month for what I thought was an A7R IV not knowing that I had actually bought a A7R IVa the existence of which I was totally unaware of. ![]()
