I got excited for a second, but then I realized that 7 is somewhat dated. 9 is the one I wanted/need May have to open my wallet on this one. Still working with the DXO 9 trial, but I was amazed at how effortlessly it patched up an ISO 12800 EM5 image that is a purple mess in ACR.

same here, I posted it anyway just incase someone wanted it.

I haven't used DXO before but if it cleans up nicely I think I aswell will give the trial a go.

If you use LR as your DAM, you can use DXO Pro as a plugin to do raw conversions instead of using the raw converter in LR (which would be the same as the parallel ACR converter).

I just started using the Optics 9 trial and liked it enough that I bought the standard suite. It was on sale for $69 standard and $149 elite at Adorama few weeks back when I bought it. I would suggest you wait for another sale if you decide to buy it and not in a hurry.
