Had the original DxO One been lightweight (high quality plastic) and leveraged the iPhone battery) and less expensive as a consequence (no fine metal finishing, no expensive battery) it might have been a success in the day. Well, this one is partly Apple’s fault – iOS has never played all that well with others, particularly the file system.Īll of these are serious inconveniences when using the DxO One.

On the other hand, DxO is harming their marketing and making existing customers very unhappy by arbitrarily and unfairly cutting photographers off from using their mobile phones

PhotoLab 5 is an excellent dedicated RAW processor (we knew that). Multi-layer RAW processing is so much more labour intensive than PhotoLab that I stuck to the single layer to make the comparison fair.Įnd result – iPhone DNG editing in PhotoLab 5 yields significantly better results with far less trouble. It would be possible to better in Affinity Photo by processing multiple exposure layers and RAW and then merging them. In fairness to Affinity Photo, this is a single RAW developed file with touchups afterwards on the single layer. Better except for the sun in the image 13 which is completely blown out along with most of the sky.
