I’m not used to try finding a look similar to another software, but I’ve done my best this time.
I’m adding the LR version again just to look at both results one next to another, although the ideal scenario would be to open both images each on its own browser tab, and quickly switch between them to see the differences.
Lightroom:
RT 5.7:
The RT image is a bit darker, but that goes with one’s taste (it’s an image taken at night, after all).
This is the processing profile:
_DSC0986-1.png.out.pp3 (11.3 KB)
There you can see:
- I’ve used VNG4 as demosaicing algorithm (unusual, but works better in this image)
- I’ve denoised the image just a bit. Only to get a similar result to LR
- The hot and dead pixels have been applied to the max (the lowest threshold)
- I’ve applied a bit of blurring with wavelets
- Added some vibrance, too (again just to get a similar result to LR)
- And tweaked a bit the exposure (not much, as is a night shot)
As @afre has told you, with RT (and other FLOSS apps) you have more control over the image, instead of getting a cooked image that won’t offer you what your sensor is capable of.
