Sharpen / DxO vs NX Studio (need advice)

Hi,
i never seen this bevore but i never work with NX Studio.
Here are the originals. (Link to G-Photos with Raw and Jpg). Nikon Z50ii.,

Left NX Studio with “Sharpen +4” and right DXO…cant find sharpen as easy (only with a mask???). How do i get this in DXO?

Are you asking where the sharpness tool is in PhotoLab? If you have a profile for your lens use the Lens Softness Compensation tool.

If you don’t have a lens profile for your lens use the Unsharp Mask

I have a lens profile for all lenses, but i do not see this “Lens Softness” Option (its not there). Any Ideas about a usefull Unsharp Mask Setting?

Its not there, if im right. Lens Profiles are loaded.

Have you checked that it is visible in the palette? Check the list of tools available from the hamburger menu at the top of the detail palette.

Yes. More than once. It is not here. I try to reset it? I always use the standard menu without my own pieces/modifications.

What happens when you type ‘softness’ into the search box at the top of the palettes? Doing that should filter out all but the palette called ‘Lens Softness Compensation’.

As long there is no lens module for your camera / lens combination (not installed ?)
you only see “Unsharp Mask” instead of

PL 8.3

Nothing. I try that more times.

Lens sharp i never seen this. Also as im on the D7500. Did not understand that.

I’m on PL 8.1.0 and have also only the lens softness box.
@Hexxer, use the lens softness box. It should be the same.
What version do you have?

Hi,
latest. Z50ii cames today. But as i said. I never seen this “softness” Box bevor.

I opend a ticket.

What is latest? Go to help->about and you see the version. I’m on 8.1.0 and dont have the sharpness box either, only the softness box. It seems they are the same.

@Wolfgang ,
I believe you have to switch PL7 and PL8. It was first lens sharpness and now lens softness.

as shown in Sharpen / DxO vs NX Studio (need advice) - #8 by Wolfgang

( PL 7.12.0.346 and PL 8.3.0.520 are the latest versions for Windows )

8.3.0 Build 520 → DxOs wichtiger Meilenstein unterstützt die neueste Ausrüstung der größten Hersteller - DxO

That’s what I read.
But on my pc both PL8.1 and PL7.10 mentions softness. Earlier versions mention sharpness.

Update: D7500 works (my fault) but Z50ii the option is away.

All modules are loaded. I made a screen record.

Maybe you used some external software (Nikon Transfer??) which edited the Z50II raw metadata in a way not fully “understandable” by PL. Try with unmodified, out-of-camera raw – it will have ‘.NEF’ extension, not ‘.nef’, and only 4-digit number, not 6-digit like in your example.

I tried a Z50II sample raw from dpreview camera review, taken with Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN (C018) (RAW) lens. No problems using PL8.3/Win. BTW, I couldn’t find any raw files in your link.

Hi,

greate idea with dpreview. I made a fresh picture with my 70-300 and still nothing happens. And you are right, on Dpreview everything is fine.
