Hi, I actually prefer DT over LR for my edits. The ability to use an unsharp mask or wavelets for sharpening gives me more control than LR. The various noise reduction options tackle different noise issues I get so well. It is hard to compare programs in a fair way. I feel one mistake is to presume LR is perfect and everything else must match. What I have noticed is LR throws out a punchier image, especially in terms of saturation, straight away. This is possibly because the general public like strong and saturated images. DT is a flatter looking image but we have the option to raise the saturation in our workflow. The tone equalizer module, the contrast equalizer module, filmic RGB are amazing modules. For me DT is so much more fun than LR. But I can understand that some people will have a specific program such as LR and expect all other programs to produce identical pictures.
