All these dXo and Niķ presentations are too long-winded for me. This one takes ten minutes before the topic even begins and then constantly drifts off again with repetitive and anectdotal utterances. I suggest people search Robin Walley at Lenscraft for how it should be done - he seldom wastes a word, and goes much deeper into his subject.

You mentioned DxO will be releasing profile for the Sony ILCE-7SM3 soon. The camera was released July 2020. Hmmmm! I'm still waiting for a profile for my Leica SL2 and it was released November 2019. Do you see a problem here?

Great video! 21:22 Why convert it to 8-bit? What about sharpening, when do you do that? 21:33 How do you focus on the stars? 23:12 Why not just use the tint-slider in PL?

Could someone please advise as to the point of this navel gazing rambling and when it reverts to something DXO users will find of interest? I'm shutting this down @ 3.13 as I don't wish to hear any possible "Too much Information" Confessions...

One of the issues with moving out of Photolab to Nik collection is the change in formats from raw to tiff, will also affect the ability to undo a previous change if the totality of changes doesn’t work out. Also applying Deep prime pretty much upfront with some other changes is not something in other presentations e.g. Photojoseph’s.
