Hi,
I take lot of Church photographs and have used VP successfully for many years. I’ve just installed Pure Raw 4. In which order should I process the images to get the optimum result.
Thank you
Sorry but I don’t understand your question. What is your current workflow?
If you already hav bought PR:
PR > VP = done
Otherwise tryout PhotoLab (PL) (wait a couple of months to buy it when PL8 arrives)
PL > VP as enabled feature within PL > Export through PL = Done.
Pure RAW 4 > current photo editing software > ViewPoint
Haha. Yes.
I forgot the round tour into an external app.
Thanks.
PR works on the raw image so you’ve to start with it and export it as an RGB image. No other option.

Hi,
Thank you. I use LRC as my catalogue /editing software My process has been LR>VP(open original raw file) - process>LRC. From the advice to date I’d P
process in PR >LRC>VP. If I open the ‘original’ in VP that presumably would not have the PR processing embedded so I’d simply use the ‘perspective’ tools etc.
Thank you, Dennis
Dennis,
I would send the original raw file to PR4 via the LrC plug-in > process raw file in PR4 and export it back to LrC as a (linear) DNG > process the DxO DNG (which has the DxO Optics module & noise reduction applied) in LrC > export the processed file to VP as a TIFF with Lightroom edits applied.
Have to say this workflow is a bit convoluted, it produces some very large files but it works:
St Mary’s Church at Fountains Abbey.

Brilliant Thank you very much. I suspect Church photography lends itself to precise workflows to resolve the technical issues both in capture and postprocessing so I’m happy with convoluted. Its worth it when you get a good photograph. I’m off to another Church on Wednesday. I’ll try the workflow with the set of images. I very nice image of St Mary’s. Worth the effort,
Dennis
Thank you. That process works well.
