Working with photos in RAW

RAW files for further editing in Dehancer can be processed in multiple ways:

1. While developing RAW photos in Affinity Photo, we recommend:

  • Correct the most severe deviations in exposure and white balance
  • Use the linear contrast curve if possible, avoiding clipping in shadows and highlights
  • Disable noise reduction and sharpening
  • Avoid any local enhancements which might cause visible halos
  • Work with developed files in sRGB 16 bit format
  1. Third-party RAW converters

For instance C1 (Capture One Pro) combined with Linear curve, and RPP (Raw Photo Processor) with Colorimetric Gamma mode produces good results. You can also use any other RAW converter. While processing RAW photos, we recommend:

  • Correct the most severe deviations in exposure and white balance
  • Use the Linear contrast curve if possible, avoiding clipping in shadows and highlights
  • Disable noise reduction and sharpening
  • Avoid any local contrast enhancement which might cause visible halos
  • Export files in sRGB TIFF 16 bit format

  1. As a native Apple Silicon application (an updated Ps/LrC version is required).
  2. In Rosetta x86 emulation mode (an older Ps/LrC version is installed, or ‘Open with Rosetta’ option is enabled manually). To check what mode Photoshop is running in, start the application, run Activity Monitor.app and check the Kind column.
  3. If it shows ‘Apple’, then Ps/LrC runs as a native application. In this case, please install the arm64 version of the plugin.
  4. If it says ‘Intel’, the application is launched in emulation mode. This requires the x86 version of the plugin. You can also check if the emulation mode is enabled manually.

Working with photos in RAW

RAW files for further editing in Dehancer can be processed in multiple ways:

  1. Using the Photoshop/Lightroom built-in engine

(ACR – Adobe Camera RAW)

We have observed that color rendering in ACR / Lightroom leaves much to be desired, but an acceptable result can be obtained with the following settings:

Profile: Adobe Standard

Exposure: –1

Contrast: –40

Blacks: +60

Curve: Linear

Sharpening = 0

Noise Reduction = 0

Color Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Bit Depth: 16 bit

If you are shooting with an iPhone and using Apple ProRaw DNG, try setting the Amount value for the Apple ProRaw profile to zero. Thus you will reduce the automatic Apple algorithms that are not always reliable (but still, sometimes acceptable). Meanwhile, we recommend setting the Sharpening value in the Detail tab to zero in order to prevent oversharpening.

💡 Tip: Any RAW photo can be opened with the Open As Object option. The smart object will be created and Dehancer will be applied as a Smart Filter, which allows you to easily access both the RAW settings and the plugin’s parameters at any time.

  1. Third-party RAW converters
  • For instance C1 (Capture One Pro) combined with Linear curve, and RPP (Raw Photo Processor) with Colorimetric Gamma mode produces good results. You can also use any other RAW converter.

2.4 Check the Operating System selection.

2.5 Hit Download button. Your download will start automatically.

  1. Unzip the downloaded zip file, if your system didn’t do it automatically:
  1. Select the appropriate distributive. The file name contains the host application (Photoshop or Lightroom) and the compatible CPU type:
  • x86 — for Intel-based macs
  • arm64 — for Apple Silicon M1/M2

💡 Apple Silicon M1/M2 macs can run Ps/LrC in two modes:

  1. As a native Apple Silicon application (an updated Ps/LrC version is required).
  2. In Rosetta x86 emulation mode (an older Ps/LrC version is installed, or ‘Open with Rosetta’ option is enabled manually). To check what mode Photoshop is running in, start the application, run Activity Monitor.app and check the Kind column.
  3. If it shows ‘Apple’, then Ps/LrC runs as a native application. In this case, please install the arm64 version of the plugin.
  4. If it says ‘Intel’, the application is launched in emulation mode. This requires the x86 version of the plugin. You can also check if the emulation mode is enabled manually. To do this, open the Applications folder, look for the Adobe Lightroom subfolder, locate Adobe Lightroom.app and select ‘Get Info’ from the right-click menu (or press Cmd + I). ‘Open with Rosetta’ option stands for the emulation mode. </aside>
  1. Run the Lightroom installation file and follow the installation steps.
  1. Launch Adobe Lightroom. If the program was already running, you don’t need to restart it.
  2. Go to Preferences → External Editing and click Choose to add Dehancer as an external editor.
  1. Specify the path to the installed Dehancer plugin: Macintosh HD → Applications → Dehancer Lightroom Plugin → → Dehancer Lightroom Plugin.app
  1. Make sure that the plug-in is selected as an external editor.
  1. Choose the photo you want to process, right-click on it and select the Dehancer plugin.

💡 Note that your file must be presented in the sRGB color space to be displayed and processed properly. Support for other color spaces will be added later.

  1. At first launch, the Settings window will open automatically. You can also open the Settings at any time by clicking on the gear icon in the toolbar.
  1. Use the button Update Film Profiles to download the profiles the first time.
  1. Now Dehancer is ready to use.

Working with photos in RAW

RAW files for further editing in Dehancer can be processed in multiple ways:

  1. Using the Photoshop/Lightroom built-in engine
  2. (ACR – Adobe Camera RAW)
  3. We have observed that color rendering in ACR / Lightroom leaves much to be desired, but an acceptable result can be obtained with the following settings:

Profile: Adobe Standard

Exposure: –1

Contrast: –40

Blacks: +60

Curve: Linear

Sharpening = 0

Noise Reduction = 0

Color Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Bit Depth: 16 bit

If you are shooting with an iPhone and using Apple ProRaw DNG, try setting the Amount value for the Apple ProRaw profile to zero. Thus you will reduce the automatic Apple algorithms that are not always reliable (but still, sometimes acceptable). Meanwhile, we recommend setting the Sharpening value in the Detail tab to zero in order to prevent oversharpening.

💡 Tip: Any RAW photo can be opened with the Open As Object option. The smart object will be created and Dehancer will be applied as a Smart Filter, which allows you to easily access both the RAW settings and the plugin’s parameters at any time.

Third-party RAW converters For instance C1 (Capture One Pro) combined with Linear curve, and RPP (Raw Photo Processor) with Colorimetric Gamma mode produces good results. You can also use any other RAW converter. While processing RAW photos, we recommend:

  • Correct the most severe deviations in exposure and white balance
  • Use the Linear contrast curve if possible, avoiding clipping in shadows and highlights
  • Disable noise reduction and sharpening
  • Avoid any local contrast enhancement which might cause visible halos
  • Export files in sRGB TIFF 16 bit format

License activation

Dehancer Updates

We update the plugin regularly, adding new features, fixing bugs and improving performance. Keep Dehancer up-to-date to get the most out of it.

💡 We recommend that you AVOID UPDATING both the plugin itself and the host application until you are finished working on the important projects.

Checking the Updates

Please, check the actual product version in the ‘Download and Get Free Trial’ widget at the . If the new version is out, download and install it manually. We always announce new versions on social media and newsletters, so stay tuned.

Minor Updates and hotfixes

Minor update replaces the existing plugin installation, keeping the node settings compatible and the current License Seat activated. Generally, Dehancer settings in existing projects are not affected, but this depends on many factors, including DaVinci version, operating system and the entire processing chain. Thus, avoid updating the plugin while you are working on a project.

Major Updates

Major updates usually include new features and other changes that does not technically allow to maintain the plugin settings compatibility. New major version will be installed as a separate, independent plugin. It will not be compatible with an old plugin node settings and requires separate License Activation. You can use a spare Seat or just Deactivate an older version to re-use the existing License Key.

BETA Updates

  1. Major BETA versions are installed as the separate plugins.
  2. Minor BETA versions will replace earlier releases. Generally the settings are not compatible with the stable release and the plugin requires separate License Activation. You can use a spare Seat or just Deactivate an older version to use the existing License Key for beta testing purposes.
