Champs-Elysees at Sunset

On our first full day in Paris, and just after leaving our friend Yuji, I took this photo of Arc de Triomphe along Champs-Elysees in Paris.

 

Although I did post this photo about a half a year ago, I decided to re-post it using Canon's DPP for the RAW conversion and ACR/Photoshop for minor processing, as the results are significantly different. I have been using DPP for converting my raw files for the past few weeks now (saving as TIFF and editing in Photoshop), and I don't think I would ever use ACR for converting my Canon files again, as it does a very poor job. I think this is the case for most cameras, as Adobe does not appear to use the precise algorithms to accurately convert the files, which is unfortunate. My friend Rob just tested the software provided by Nikon for his Nikon D7000, and he has found that it is much better too. However, Photoshop/Lightroom is still far better for editing, so I would never just use DPP.
