ACDSee and ON1 probably take the yellow a bit too far. You can see Darktable v6, DxO PhotoLab, RawTherapee, Exposure, and Zoner leaning towards desaturation, while the others render yellow color twists of some form or another. So a balance has to be struck between merely desaturating highlights, and twisting them yellow. There's a difficult tradeoff to be made here: Fire highlights physically don't change hue much compared to the fire body, but we visibly expect 'hotter' fire to twist yellow.

I tried to inject some objectivity by limiting my edits to the most obvious sliders wherever possible, especially in the programs I know better. Of course I am no expert in any of them except Darktable and Capture One, so my results are probably flawed. In order to put them through their paces, I took a random smattering of images from the last few years that I found difficult to work with for one reason or another, and checked how each of the programs dealt with them. I also installed Luminar Neo (€120 or €80/a) and Radiant Photo (€140) but I disliked them so immediately and viscerally that I didn't include them in the comparison below.

Or maybe I just wanted a justification for buying DxO PhotoLab, because people on the internet speak so well of it 🙄.įor the following comparison I downloaded trial versions of ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2023 (€155), Capture One 22 (€350 or €220/a), Darktable 4.0 (free), DxO Photolab 6 (€220 + €140 for FilmPack 6 + €99 for ViewPoint), Adobe Lightroom Classic 11.5 (€142/a), ON1 Photo Raw 2023 (€126), RawTherapee 5.8 (free), Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 11 (€155), Exposure X7 (€165), and Zoner Photo Studio X Fall 2022 (€60/a). This comes at an inopportune time, as I feel restless of late. It's that time of the year again when all image editing programs come out with new versions.
