In general, both DxO’s high-quality NR and Prime NR give cleaner results and more details in high ISO shots than Lightroom 5’s NR. DxO’s Prime NR gives cleaner results and retrieves more details in this comparison. The second comparison makes it more obvious to see the difference between DxO’s Prime NR and the other two NRs. DxO high-quality NR has slightly better performance (look at the blue light surrounding), while the DxO Prime NR gives a cleaner and sharper image than the other two NR. The Prime NR calculates 1000 surrounding pixels to perform NR, and it is only available in the Elite version.īoth comparison shots below were shot at ISO 1600 with Sony NEX 6 and show in 100% crop.

Without the DxO’s Smart Lighting optimization, its highlight and shadow recovery tools do not perform as effectively as the Lightroom 5’s recovery capability.īoth applications utilize their technology to render the images, and the results are decent and pretty close to each other.ĭxO Optics Pro 10 provides two different NR technologies – high quality and the Prime. The highlight and shadow recovery tools in DxO Optics Pro perform more subtly than the Lightroom 5. In contrast, Lightroom 5 vibrancy is set to +65 and saturation 0. However, DxO Optics Pro 10 tends to be more vibrant and saturated than Lightroom, even though I set the vibrancy and saturation of DxO to 0. Fine Tune DxO LightroomĪfter applying some quick adjustments, both results looked pretty good and very similar to each other. While the DxO Optics Pro 10 only does the lens correction and applies DxO’s Smart Lighting in slight intensity as default. Lightroom 5 increases exposure, and recovers the highlight and shadow. When applying the auto adjustment, Lightroom 5 opens up more than the DxO Optics Pro 10 due to the different default settings. The default rendering for both applications seems not much different. It brings out the details from underexposed and overexposed areas. Besides the standard shadow and highlight recovery, DxO Optics Pro 10 also introduces Smart Lighting optimization. Landscape Rendering and Adjustmentįirst of all, we will look at the comparison of the rendering capability of both applications. Therefore, I decided to compare myself and share with you all because the DxO Optics Pro 10 is definitely worth the try. I spent some time searching online, but there is not much comparison between DxO Optics Pro 10 vs Lightroom 5. So I grabbed a copy and gave it a try, wow! Impressive! The Prime NR only takes between 1 minute to 1 minute 20 seconds to render my photos on my MBP 13 late 2013, and the loading time for images is significantly improved! Soon, DxO released the DxO Optics Pro 10, which claims that the Prime NR performance and loading time in DxO Optics Pro 10 had been boosted up to 4 times and 10 times faster, respectively, than it was in DxO Optics Pro 9. However, the processing and loading time in DxO Optics Pro 9 was significantly slower than Lightroom 5. Although I’m satisfied with the Lightroom 5 noise reduction, I’m still interested in how better the Prime NR can be.

When the DxO first introduced the Prime noise reduction in its DxO Optics Pro 9, it caught my attention immediately.
