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 don’t know if it’s necessary, but I’ve incorporated it as part of my workflow because I can see the difference in the noise reduction. It takes great images and imparts the wow factor to push them over the edge.
