Studio 2 Standalone RAW Images Desaturated

[AiDon]

The point has been raised before and has also been said that Studio 2 is not yet a RAW converter:

Topaz Studio: Sony RAW files dull and lacking dynamic range

Topaz Studio V1.11.8. AND V1.12.6 When importing Sony a7RM2 or Sony a7S RAW files into Topaz Studio, the result image is muted, dull, and way too dark. How ever I adjust the image, it does not get any better. I’ts like the picture lacks all the dynamic range. I love Topaz Studio, but this seems to be a total show stopper. Thanks, Arthur P.S. I loaded two sample images: one is Topaz Studio and the other is CaptureOne. Both with default settings. [image][image]

" At the moment, I must stress that Studio 2 does not technically support raw files and we do not consider it to be a raw editor"

Topaz Studio 2 and RAW files

Hey folks, I just wanted to start with Topaz Studio 2 and I am very confused, how RAW images look like, when I open them. They are very flat, and by that I mean VERY flat. The picture have almost no colour. I played around with a few sliders in the Basic adjustment panel, but it’s hard to get the image looking as a real image. I mean, I know that raw images are raw and you have to develop them, but the way Topaz Studio handles it, seems to be very unpopular. I use Lightroom as main raw editor…
