The big selling point of the predecessor DxO Optics Pro is the prowess of its RAW processing engine. It’s a popular editing software among photographers looking to get the best quality possible out of RAW format images.

I did a test, and the results are impressive.DxO PhotoLab was launched in the last quarter of 2017 and succeeds DxO Optics Pro. Better dynamic range means that shadows can be lifted and details can be recovered.ĭxO also claims that ISO4000 images look like an ISO500 images. The new DeepPRIME XD is better.Īccording to DxO dynamic range is improved by 2.5 stops. DeepPRIME was already the best in the market. The best noise reduction just got better.įor me, the most exciting thing is that DxO Labs has improved its noise reduction. I have not tested PhotoLab 5 against PhotoLab 6 on this one. According to the DxO Labs press release, more accurate colors can be achieved. The third improvement is new color processing algorithms. It makes cloning and healing possible and external software is unnecessary-more about the ReTouch tool in my video about DxO PhotoLab 6. These types of improvements are always welcome. The use of color labels makes it easier to choose images. DxO has improved the library system so that the workflow is smoother. The corrections are not just some average adjustments but are actually based on the camera and lens used.Ī smoother and faster workflow makes it easier to edit. That has made the image quality one of the best, if not the best, on the market. They are data that they have collected using tens of thousands of different camera lens combinations. DxO has been known for its excellent Modules. DxO has just announced its upgrade to PhotoLab, PhotoLab 6.
