I particularly like using Color Efex Pro to finish wildlife images.

Once you have processed your image in PL, you can export as a jpg or in some other format, or you can click the Nik Collection button to send it to one of the Nik programs for further processing. This includes a discount for upgrades for existing customers, including upgrades from an Elite to Essentials edition. The main difference is the inclusion of DeepPrime noise reduction, although it also has ClearView Plus and a number of other features: ĭxO usually releases a new version of PL in October each year, with a discount on the launch price. If you like it, it's worth upgrading to the Elite edition as mentioned. See: Robin Whalley also has some excellent tutorials: I'd suggest you look at some of the video tutorials on the DxO site and try it out.

I've been using Photolab and its predecessor OpticsPro for 8 years as my main PP software and I love it. If you are (or were) a DxO PhotoLab user, what are the pros and cons?ĭonYou got a great deal Don. I don't know if I will ever use it – I assume it is an older version – but I would be interested to know what others who have or are using think of the software.

I just bought the upgrade for the Nik Collection ($79) and they threw in for free ($00.00) DxO PhotoLab 5 (Version 5.3.1.69). The main drawback for me is the absence of Pixel Shift processing. Enhance sharpness seems to function as a simple sharpness slider. Remove noise functions as described, removing noise - but it also seems to increase sharpness and boost detail - perhaps part of the AI algorithm. The Deep Prime noise control is well regarded as one of the best. Topaz Denoise AI Topaz has three sliders, including Remove Noise Enhance Sharpness, and Recover Details. PhotoLab's noise reduction capability is excellent - exceptional even. For example, they implemented color models for the relatively new Pentax K-3 Mark III. It also can apply camera colour renderings. Comparions Now let’s take a look at how the results from NoNoise compares to the competition. I haven’t yet had a chance to test how all three applications go on my speedy Desktop machine, but I’ll be sure to add the results when I can. PhotoLab takes advantage of DxO's lab measurements on cameras and lenses to automatically adjust for certain distortion. As a comparison, Topaz DeNoise took 17 seconds and DxO PhotoLab took 28 seconds for the same file. ViewPoint provides geometric and distortion adjustments. For example, FilmPack 6 has a number of film emulations and other presets, as well as enhanced contrast controls. I have the 'full' PhotoLab suite, including FilmPack 6 and ViewPoint 3, which provide additional features and functionality. For pixel-level editing - after developing the RAW file - I use Affinity Photo, for example for cloning, blemish removal, and a few other things not covered by PhotoLab.

I like its workflow and user interface better than RawTherapee. It has become my main RAW developer, replacing RawTherapee. If you are (or were) a DxO PhotoLab user, what are the pros and cons?I have been using DxO PhotoLab 5 for about 8 months now.
