But let’s see how the old Capture NX2 would behave on the image with the autumn trees…
At 50% (almost complete view):
At 66.7%:
At 100%:
That’s right: a program that dates back to 2009 (FIFTEEN YEARS AGO!!!) has perfect rendering at any zoom level, with no colour artefacts whatsoever.
So, please, let’s cut the bullsh*t about “it would be too heavy on the CPU”, “DXO took some necessary shortcuts to speed up the rendering”, “it’s unavoidable”. Bloody Capture NX2 operated correctly FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, with no performance issues. I used to run it on a Pentium 4! No reason PL can’t do it yet even in 2024.
