If you expose to the right (ETTR), best results are generally obtained by using Highlight Priority Medium or Strong followed by a boost to the Shadow slider (or Curves).Use the Curves tool to set black & white points.Also, the price isn't cheap, but they've had me hooked since their early versions, so the upgrades aren't bad - this one was $60 or $70 - but I'm scared to think about how much I've spent.

I'd rather it just accept the image the way I've already processed it and just let me work with NR only, not all the other options. The only thing I don't like so far is that DxO automatically gives it's own interpretation of the newly uploaded image immediately. One thing I'm interested in trying is to hit an image lightly with LR NR and then move it into Optics 9 to see if I can get a better finish on the NR in an image that way. I just took some really severely noisy images last week and I'm looking forward to seeing if DxO can do anything more than LR can with them. I'm not always pleased with the way my 5d3 handles noise, though I'm thrilled with the ISO levels that I can use and dare to go too. That being said, I think none of my critics, fans or clients would see any difference, somehow they just don't notice the noise as much as I do. The LR5 image still looked a little on the posturized side, not quite has smooth, not quite satisfying for me. (have fun with that one all you lingual aficionados). Side by side, I liked the Optics 9 slightly better, the transitioned image seemed just a bit smoother, butteryer.
