For a novice photography, is DxO pureraw necessary if I only use lightroom? The 16mm RF lens that I bought for my new canon r8 (I mainly do landscape, city, street, convention, gunpla photography) has really bad lens distortion and vignetting, and I heard the lens corrections from DxO Pureraw are superior to lightroom. Is this true? How does it compare to lightroom and does it make any difference for a novice photography in the end?
I bought Pure Raw 3 a few months before Adobe added their ML noise reduction to LR.
I would not buy it again. The new tool in LR is great.
LR states lens corrections, I still notice a bit of vignette at the wide end of my RF 24-70.
If I was annoyed by it I guess I could shoot a white wall, correct and save as default for that lens.
Distortion. Doesn’t seem bad on my lens to notice if LR is doing anything. Again could shoot a brick wall, correct and save as default
