I also experimented with the tone curve (in Effects) and with Local Adjustments (painting masks, brightening …), but stopped after a while. Instead I opened your raw-file in ON1 and applied the ‘Camera Standard’ profil + AI Auto, which seemed to give the best exposure in ON1. ( BTW, tried to use the settings from raw-file in ON1 – took note and had to choose them by hand, while AI Auto couldn’t be applied at all – also no success. The contrast seems to be to high to be reduced sufficiently, and bringing the shadows up I exported your raw-file from DxO PL4 as DNG with denoise & optical corrections only (same as PureRAW = no exposure manipulation) and opened it in ON1 2020.6 Now, I had several trials with your file … When I tried PhotoLab, it recognized them all (except the TC) and even some from my ‘entry’ to the digital world. I will upload it here, if you want to play around with it yourself in used ON1 since 2018, I upgraded twice – and stopped as I was still missing support for a couple of lenses. The only solution would be to convert the file to a TIF and then back to DNG (since Pure Raw doesn’t work with TIFs)Īll this is a pity, since Pure Raw does a much better job with colour noise, providing exposure is correct, than Topaz DeNoise AI. If I adjust exposure in On1, that change does not carry over. My understanding, from watching several YouTube videos, is that if you have DxO PL4, you can tweak exposure etc BEFORE denoising. The results are horrible, even with a lot of tweaking, such as reducing the contrast. That’s certainly NOT the case with On1, so if I have an underexposed image, like the one I posted above, I have to adjust exposure back in On1 after Pure Raw has worked its magic.

I might have misunderstood the videos, but I got the impression that with LR some sort of metadata is sent over to Pure Raw, which means that, yes, you can do things like increase exposure etc.
