Members Forum (In Person): Introduction to DxO Processing Software with Gary Rubin

Bio/Description:

Gary Rubin is a 2nd-year member of NPVS. His photography journey began in middle school with his dad’s Minolta SRT-101. He shot primarily black-and-white film through high school and into college, where he was a photographer and photo editor for his college yearbook. He set photography aside for a few years after college and later made the move to digital photography about 20 years ago to document and share his kids’ activities and adventures with family members. About 10 years ago, Gary began to return to photography as a hobby, shooting wherever family activities and vacations took him.  

As with many digital photographers, Gary did a majority of his processing using Adobe Lightroom. Following an Adobe price increase around 2020, Gary began looking for subscription-free processing options and came across DxO PhotoLab and related products. DxO’s excellent denoising capabilities filled a need when processing high-school sports photos, with DxO’s purchase of the Nik Collection tools also contributing to Gary’s decision to give DxO a try. Five years later, Gary is a happy user of DxO PhotoLab and Nik Collection tools and administers a 3800-member Facebook group for DxO users. 

During this Member’s Forum, Gary will provide an introduction to DxO’s PhotoLab, PureRaw, and Nik Collection software tools. He will also provide a discount code should anyone be interested in purchasing DxO software.
