Perhaps Adobe and Canon have solved the problem in March 2020?ĭifferent raw converters, different strengths and weaknesses. It was not possible with DPP4 or Lightroom in December 2019. With both RawTherapee and darktable it is possible to remove the maze pattern from EOS R. If I shoot raw and want to have the exported jpg to look like jpg straight out of the camera, but with higher image quality, DPP4 is easiest to use. RawTherapee and darktable use Lensfun as lens correction database.

I really like the lens correction, but the lens correction in DPP4 is only for Canon lenses. DPP4 doesn't have support for Linux so I need to use a VirtualBox. Probably you use the default settings in RawTherapee that increases the contrast. So, at this point, I'm leaning toward DPP4.Īs you can see, the image with noise is brighter and sharper.

If I DO sharpen in DPP$, no speckes appear. DPP4 image - no specling, but looks like things are not as sharp, although I don't have sharpening turned on in RT. Raw Therapee image - note the multi-colored speckling. I also saw the same 'noise' (or whatever it is) opening the file in PhotoscapeX.

I turned off de-noising, sharp mask, etc. One thing I did notice, is that the same file opened in RT has a lot of what I assume to be noise specles (multi-colored pixels scattered all over the image) that I do not see in DPP4. Not sue how that happened, but I did download 5.8, and all is now much better. I went back to my download folder to see which version of raw Therapee I had gotten, and it was 2.41 (!).
