Just look at the above examples…all the cardboard/paint texture has been washed out by using the HQ algorithm (please note: all images have been processed using all the same optical corrections provided by PL). Of course to intercept noise it’s best to start by demosaicing the RAW (after all this is what all similar software tell you “You’ll get better results with the original RAW file”), but my point is that even with a good image, demosaicing it using anything less than DP/XD will result in data loss. As DxO says in their documentation, their algorithm does demosaicing & denoising. The whole point is that most people think that DP/XD is there just to get rid of the noise, which IS NOT TRUE. Name and (ON or OFF) status of the sub-palette used.

What do you mean? I took the picture of an object I own which is on my desk. The DxO Advanced History palette records the following information, which is retained when you exit the program (Mac only): The default preset that was applied when you opened the image in PhotoLab.
