![]() ![]() PhotoLab is very attractive, but like many photographers, I have a strong mental investment in Adobe tools and also like and use Luminar Neo from Skylum. Now, it’s possible to quickly select or deselect all of the modules that a photographer wants to install, making the process smoother.ĭXO tools are really first class. Sometimes, photographers might want to access the maximum image projected by the lens, and DxO PhotoLab 6.3 offers this option when using the Crop tool.įor maximum image quality, photographers have long been prompted to download DxO Optics Modules - corrections that have been produced in DxO’s own purpose-built laboratory. This can cause part of the image to be lost. Photo editing software typically crops an image as it corrects distortions, making the image conform to the standard ratio of the camera. With version 6.3, photographers now have the option to edit JPEG and TIFF files in the new color space, giving greater flexibility when editing files and maximizing color capabilities. ![]() In addition, it now has a checkbox to activate paper and ink simulation as specified by the selected ICC Profile, giving photographers even greater accuracy when preparing their files for printing.ĭxO’s new expanded working color space was designed to give photographers the ultimate color workflow for their raw files. ![]() Version 6.3 develops this further, adding paper and ink simulations when soft proofing, and ensuring that prints are as accurate as possible.ĭxO PhotoLab’s soft proofing palette already features the unique "Preserve color details" slider, which protects color detail in highly saturated parts of the image when moving to smaller color spaces. In addition, upgrades have smoothed the installation of DxO Optics Modules, and photographers can now view the entire image area (going beyond what photo editors typically display) when cropping.ĭxO PhotoLab 6 introduced a new working color space and with it, soft proofing options that give photographers greater precision when preparing their images for display. Pure Raw seems rather limited and pretty expensive so that I might just as well continue with PL5.This new version, 6.3, released today, introduces the ability to simulate papers and inks when soft proofing, expands the performance of DxO Wide Gamut, as well as giving photographers the option to edit JPEG and TIFF files within this powerful new working color space. In particular my Fuji files come out way better in PL5 than in LR. PL5 is more "automatic" with its Smart Lighting and Clear View options (they often deliver nice results, though), and less usable Highlight/Shadow/Black and White controls. As a matter of fact, I do like the way LR edits an image more. But: It also seems that I can just as well start in PL5, apply the basic processing steps (Exposure, WB, Noise and Lens Correction) and then export as JPEG for catalogueing and further edit in LR. It seems as if LR sends the RAW-file w/o any edits to PL5. ![]() If you’re more Lightroom focussed perhaps DXO Pure Raw workflow would be a better fit? When I’m done editing I catalogue the raw files in Lightroom. I don’t want Lightroom doing any raw development as DXO’s is far better in my experience at extracting detail and handling any noise. For all of my cameras (excluding my Q2M obviously) I open the raw first in DXO Photolab and do all my edits from there. ![]()
