You have plenty of filter options too, so you can just view particular images (only jpeg or raw for example), so you don’t clutter up your workspace. This means, if you have images you have edited, they will show up on the panel in their last edited form (and you can continue editing at later date). You’ll enter the “PhotoLibrary” view, where you can see your images side by side and instantly view the state they are in. Opening DXO PhotoLab, you’re greeted to a quite familiar, but slightly different layout to what you would see with Lightroom. That alone should tell you just how much thought, combined with DXO’s knowledge is applied to this package. Using DXO labs extensive data, PhotoLab V5 also has sophisticated control over lens distortions, cromatic abberations and individual lens vignetting issues.

That’s a lot to promise, but here’s a spoiler… It delivers! However, it prioritises demosaicing and denoising as a main feature, to ensure the finest quality image that you can imagine. So, when a package comes along that makes you raise an eyebrow, you know you’re in for a treat.ĭXO PhotoLab is a raw editor, along the lines of Lightroom.

I keep up to date with them so that I can share knowledge and help others, and generally keep in touch with the progression of editing software. I’ve reviewed many software packages over the years, and own many packages from all the main suppliers.
