Because only PS, NX2 & maybe Paintshop are the only progs properly in the latter category, there is a tendency for software houses to do cheaper bastard progs like Lightroom & Aperture, and if it was sold seperately, which it isn't, ACR that include a bit of dodge and burn but NOT full zonal control NB there sometimes seems to be confusion between progs that are designed primarily as RAW converters and continuation or main edit programs, where IMO it is ESSENTIAL to be able to have full control by masking (or selection) so as to be able to do different things to different zones of an image. I have just tried DxO from NEF on a couple of poor light pics ( and the next one), but DxO can't begin to compete with NX2 on NEFs I normally only use DxO for preparation of images from the year I had a canon 350D before continuing with Nikon Capture NX2. I have found DxO good for modest light recovery as one might do later on with shadow recovery have not tried huge shifts, but have one or two 'suitable subjects for treatment' and will try later and report backYes I stick with that, just use it for the minimum RAW conversion and 1st stage, then 'proof' ie convert to tif and do main edit in a prog that allows different light corrections for different zones of the image.
