DPP4 and Clarity

[PysankyArtist]

While conversing with other photographers who use LightRoom, they had made suggestions to me to improve my photos by adjusting the Clairity slider.  DPP4 does not have this slider -- what would I do in DPP4 that would be comparable to increasing clairity in LR?

Clarity in lightroom adjusts the contrast in midtones, DPP does not have this facility although you could probably get the same effect playing with curves. DPP is really more of a basic raw converter although in my opinion it is the best one to use. If you need extra bells and whistles then you can do do the basics in DPP and any further processing in other software, there are plenty of free programs available you don't have to buy lightroom.

Thanks for your answer -- no, I don't need extra bells and whistles!  I'm just trying to figure out how to accomplish the suggestions I get using the DPP4 program!
