I’ve edited this post to add an NX-D-developed (middle), and a Capture One-developed (last) version of the same image. Not sure why this part of the series was so difficult to correct (especially for Aperture).ĭxO produced brownish looking images, while getting a boost in color-accuracy from the Portraiture plug-in. The NX-D developed file, also aided by Portraiture, looks better, but is a bit greenish with a flatter curve. It was Portraiture which was able to deliver more accurate-looking flesh tones. So I again exported a TIFF from DxO to Aperture, then ran it through the Portraiture plug-in. Well, I did come across a series for which DxO’s default conversion did not yield perfect flesh tones.

The default conversion yielded a file that was a bit on the warm side, but the skin tones were rendered far more accurately than the built-in OS X RAW converter used in Aperture and Photos.ĭxO Optics Pro vs. DxO was at default conversion settings, however, I did also have the benefit of DxO’s body- and lens-specific modules installed (Nikon D800E + Sigma 150mm f/2.8 OS). Notes: My Nikon D800E was set at “neutral” for its in-camera profile, and was recording 14-bit compressed NEFs.

However, DxO was able to produce accurate skin tones, right off the bat (at least with this particular photo–see below).

Previously, I’ve just been ingesting directly into Aperture, then running selected images through Portraiture. One-way-tripping to Aperture as a TIFF is my only way to get to the Portraiture plug-in. In Aperture, I performed some minor blemish-removal, a slight white-balance shift (cooler), and then ran it through my Portraiture plug-in at default settings:įor convenience’s sake, I stopped using DxO a while ago, but using a dedicated RAW developer as a front-end for portraiture work now seems like a no-brainer. Sort of going a bit off-topic here, but I just ran a DxO NEF-conversion on the same file, then exported a 16-bit TIFF for import into Aperture. So far, I can’t get anywhere near the same results from the BeFunky plug-in, so my greatest hope for Photos is for Imagenomic to release their own Photos extension (lack of Portraiture plug-in compatibility was also a major reason I’ve discounted Capture One Pro).ĭxO Optics Pro -> Aperture -> Portraiture: Some minor retouching, color-correction, and levels were adjusted in Aperture, then run through Imagenomic’s Portraiture plug-in.

The image shown in the Photos screen-grab above is just an export of an Aperture-produced. OpticsPro and other soon-to-be-released plug-ins are mentioned on Apple’s own site ( HT205245) as well as on DxO’s site ( …).

Iridient is also now offering a RAW developer Photos extension for download (but not available from the AppStore). Pixelmator is planning to release “Distort, “ but I was hoping for a more generalist plug-in from them. What I think is really exciting is the upcoming release of DxO’s OpticsPro for Photos, a Photos extensions plug-in with lens-correction features (hopefully they’ll include their extensive lens database). Tonality by MacPhun (black-and-white conversion).Well, I’m giving Photos a go, and I’ve just begun to export a bunch of RAW files from Aperture of a portrait session I shot a while back on a Nikon D800E. Last night, I purchased three Photos-specific extensions from the AppStore:
