I don’t have PhotoLab, so I’m asking questions I can’t research for myself. I had a PhotoLab 6 trial a few months back, but did not get to spend much time with it before the 30 days expired and I can’t get a new trial from DxO.
In your examples, has any sharpening been applied to the image beyond DxO’s lens correction sharpening? I’m specifically interested in how the display would look if Unsharp Mask sharpening were applied. Would the preview show the intentional sharpening of edges without showing sharpening of the noise?
