![]() If money is tight, there are always FOSS alternatives like DarkTable to consider. You'd be better off biting the bullet and buying an up to date raw coverter IMO. and IMO the DNG conversion route is a bad idea, as DxO probably won't be able to read a raw file after it's been through the DNG conversion process. I must admit I've given up trying to keep track of Lightroom version numbers. Otherwise, you'll be using the dng conversion route. However, LR supports a wider range of cameras,īut Lightroom 6.1 only natively supports raw from cameras that were current at the time. If you have any noise problems, shoot raw, and use a supported camera DxO is the best tool for the job IMO. It depends on your camera and your requirements?ĭxO's best feature, DeepPRIME, only works with raw images taken on a supported camera. ![]() *And once in a blue moon, for a variety of reasons, I use other raw conversion software: Sony Image Data Converter, RawTherapee, Phase One Capture One Express, and Konica Minolta DiMage Master Lite, and I've briefly experimented with a few others. If yours is actually on 6.1, then I suggest you update it. Also, LR 6's Print module is far ahead of DxO's printing capability-although about a year ago I got Qimage Ultimate and now I much prefer to use that for almost all photo printing.įWIW, the last perpetual-license version of LR is 6.14. So why do I still use LR 6? For raw conversion, mainly because it will process the DNG raw files from my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone but DxO will not, and the same for the DNG raw files from my Canon compacts using the CHDK firmware hack. I also subjectively like the DxO controls and workflow better than the LR controls and workflow. I also feel that PL 4 is far ahead of LR 6 in other important areas, like power / flexibility of color adjustment controls. IME DxO PhotoLab 4 Elite is simply technically better than Adobe Lightroom 6 in several ways, noise reduction and profiled lens corrections being two of the biggest ones. When Lightroom 7 was available only by subscription, I stopped upgrading LR. I've upgraded to each new DxO version (six major-version upgrades), and I upgraded from Lightroom 5 to Lightroom 6. ![]() Today I use both DxO PhotoLab 4 Elite and Adobe Lightroom 6.* For a few years I used in parallel the then-current DxO and Adobe products, starting with DxO Optics Pro 9 and Adobe Lightroom 5. ![]() ![]() Others software versus the original LR that might make measurable step-function change improvements?

However, I do wonder about alternative editing software like DxO PhotoLab 4 and in particular whether any key features like their promoted "DENOISING AND DEMOSAICING" features are materially better than the what is available in the noise reduction features of LR 6.1. Believe I am fairly proficient with getting most out of the older version of LR. I have used and been reasonably happy with Lightroom and never felt I really wanted or could afford a subscription based service (I know there is a whole debate about 'value' of the subscription service), but putting that to the side, wanted to discuss the captioned. Appreciate perspectives from people that may have used both. ![]()

Cellini jumped from his near-deathbed, shouting and ordering everything possible to be slung into the fire to raise the heat. ![]() A storm broke, and in the cool of the night, Cellini’s assistants failed to keep on top of things and the metal began to clot as it cooled. The story goes that as the bronze was being cast in Cellini’s workshop, a now elderly and ill Cellini lay incapacitated on his sickbed. Though Cellini was competing against monumental works such as that of Michelangelo’s David, he wanted to set himself apart, and win his place in Florentine greatness.

Cellini presents his bronze statue in all of its macabre glory, complete with gushing blood from the severed head he holds, and from the writhing body on which he stands. In true Mannerist style, Cellini takes us on a trip to ancient Greece and the story of how the hero Perseus, depicted by Cellini with winged sandals from Hermes, satchel gifted by Athena, met and slayed (without directly facing) the infamous gorgon, Medusa.

Statue of Benvenuto Cellini, Piazzale degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy. Fun fact is that Cellini died exactly in the same year when Caravaggio was born, another complicated figure in art history with an affinity for alcohol and brawls. In his lifetime, he earned a reputation of a troubled, wild, and vain genius. Who Was Benvenuto Cellini?īenvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) was a Florentine goldsmith, sculptor, and author. It’s all part of Cellini’s shadow play, and just one example of the multi-layered story of this amazing sculpture and the man who made it. Once you get to know a little of Cellini, you will realize its position opposite David is paramount. The dark, foreboding, and bloody bronze of the Greek hero Perseus is carrying the severed head of the gorgon Medusa. The latter stands opposite Michelangelo’s David (now a copy, with the original located in the nearby Galleria dell’Accademia), as the millions of selfie-stick wielding tourists snap themselves with the famous crack-shot shepherd, if only they’d turn around and look.

And the perfect way to smudge is to place a piece of paper underneath your hand and start smudging. To avoid the streaky look of the drawing, smudge the lines properly. Is smudging required?

Avoid giving too much time to a specific area, and don’t stress yourself to complete area to area. When you start your drawing with soft lines and shades, once the sketch is partially ready, now you can apply detailed shadings with a perfect grip over the pencil. A sketch requires ample time and effort, so don’t do it very fast. Take your time and complete it in a few days, rather than do too fast and ruin it.
