For certain specific tasks, I might use another program for example, PaintShop Pro has a very easy border tool. Likewise, in my image post-processing workflow, I use several tools: Faststone Image Viewer for initial quick review and culling RawTherapee for RAW development and Affinity Photo for further adjustments. For many of my projects, multiple tools are needed one tool doesn't do everything. In my basement workshop, I have a variety of tools. Sorry to be Doctor Gloom, but it is important to know, going in, how well your chosen solutions play with others and what your exit strategy might be should such be needed.

I am lucky in that I have a perpetual license to my version of Lightroom and that my work is as secure as a good backup strategy. It is the second list that gives me reason for pause. I am strongly disincenied to abandon that work and start over. My Lightroom catalog has as many as two dozen versions of some images based on publish targets. In addition to the above there is potential for acute issues when product "A" supports virtual copies to allow multiple different processing options.

Yes, many provide migration utilities to bring your images over from product "A" to product "B" but even best case, product "B" probably does not support full equivalence to reproducing the product "A" result.

That is an expected feature, but the catalog or side-car files containing the processing instructions used by your current choice are probably not useful to another product you might consider.

Yes, the processing applied by most may be "non-destructive" with no changes to the parent.

Every option in the first list with the possible exception of dcraw comes with a hidden price, that being your freedom to migrate to something else further down the road.

Here is a second list related to the first.

(Note that his code is ubiquitous in open source RAW processors.)

Special purpose software such as Dave Coffin's dcraw has proven useful to me, mostly because it is barebones.

If you like one, become a guru and a fan and feed the community.

Open Source RAW processors such a RawTherapee offer amazing scope and depth and are worth exploring.

Other commercial products such as DxO and Capture One have their fans, their strengths and their price points.Try their product(s) and if you like it buy it. I use Lightroom almost exclusively for RAW processing because of the excellence of the product and its Develop module's tidy integration with Lightroom's other features.I love its raster editor, but I have found the Develop Persona to be one of the less capable parts of that product. I am an Infinity Photo user, but don't use its RAW processor.The Pentax DCU would be the 1st-party processor for your camera. Like, get Lightroom.įor those that use processing software that have in built RAW processors like Affinity or Photoshop - do you find 3rd party RAW processors (ON1, RawTherapee, etc) more useful in your workflow? I currently process my raw files in Affinity Photo's Develop of those tools are technically 3rd-party. If the OP is still on an old version of PS, then my answer might be different. Assuming you are on the subscription plan for PS then you already have LR. My answer is still the same, just use Lightroom as your RAW processor and hand off to PS after that. Bulk editing in LR makes things go much faster and I can concentrate my extra time on the dozen images that will go into promotional pieces.īut your point is understood, the OP seems to be using PS for a RAW processor and wants to know if third party ones might be better / faster. I simply don't get paid enough to spend hours and hours working each image. There will be several parts to the deliverable such as wall interiors, a time lapse video of construction, detailed process photos, some puff pieces for the client and portfolio shots for the builder. I'm finishing up a real estate project right now that has about 2,500 images in it. I've worked hard to make my workflow as simple as possible because for many projects I need to deliver a lot of images fairly quickly. And if you started with PS before LR then maybe that works for you. To be honest I'm not sure why anyone would use Photoshop as a RAW processor instead of Lightroom but everyone has their own workflow. But depending on how you interpret the question the answer could be yes for youOk.
