Putting DeepPRIME XD through its paces has already proven (to me) that the upgrade was worth it. Well – I guess that is ultimately up to you.įor me… it was a day one purchase. But when you consider that you’re getting the best noise reduction, optical correction and raw file conversion packages out there… and how many images you put through it in a year… in my opinion it is well worth the price. If you don’t own any previous version of PhotoLab you will need to pay the full price:įor anyone who already owns PhotoLab 4 or 5, the upgrade price is: So how much will PhotoLab 6 cost as either a new purchase or an upgrade? … and a few other features that made PhotoLab easier to use.Customisable pallettes to customise the interface to your workflow needs.DxO DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD – the best RAW noise reduction.I always recommend the Elite version of PhotoLab Elite over the Essential version. Download the trial to see everything PhotoLab can offer PhotoLab Essential vs PhotoLab Elite Allowing you to see and go back to every adjustment you’ve made to each RAW file in a non-destructive way. A really easy way to do local adjustments and enhancements.Īdvanced History. This is what brought me to PhotoLab in the first place and in my opinion is still second to none. Included in PhotoLab are:Ĭlass leading RAW demosaicing and optical corrections. Of course, the above features are in addition to the things that have always made PhotoLab so great. ![]() I doubt many photographers will notice the differences when working with most files, but improvements to colour processing and accuracy are never a bad thing! Other Features These upgrades ensure that even the most saturated colours can be faithfully reproduced on the latest wide-gamut monitors and printers. With it comes a new, extended working colour space. Better Colour AccuracyĭxO PhotoLab 6 has introduced new colour processing algorithms that allows for a wider gammut of colours. PhotoLab 6 also introduces colour labels for easier visual organisation of files.įor anyone who hates using the Lightroom catalogue system and prefers to use a file-browser type system, these improvements offer a decent upgrade in organisation and usability. This would be a very welcome feature for anyone who uses the PhotoLibrary and will greatly help with organising large image collections. It also adds nesting for projects so you can now have sub-projects within a project. It expands the range of EXIF & IPTC tags available for a photographer to use. I don’t tend to use the PhotoLibrary within DxO (Lightroom does the heavy lifting for me there), but PhotoLab 6 does see some welcome improvements here. The workflow enhancement is greatly appreciated here! Library Improvements It also ensures that any healing/cloning is non-destructive and can be edited/changed/removed later. The idea is that more complex cloning and healing can be done within PhotoLab itself instead of having to send the file out to PhotoShop or other external pixel editors. ![]() It also introduces brushes to fine-tune the area and ensure that the shape being cloned from and to is more accurate. ![]() The new ReTouch tool allows much more control over the source of the clone and allows for mirroring, rotating and scaling to help with the trickiest of healing jobs. New ‘ReTouch’ toolĭxO have added a new ReTouch tool that improves the healing and cloning process. If you don’t need the extra features (for example on less extreme ISO shots) then you can use the standard DeepPRIME processing to save some time. Because of the additional processing requirements of DeepPRIME XD it can take longer to apply to an image. The new DeepPRIME XD is an additional algorithm to the standard DeepPRIME found in previous versions of PhotoLab. It also uses it’s smarts to restore colour depth, vibrancy and dynamic range that can be lost in high ISO photos. In PhotoLab 6 this has been extended even further with a new ‘XD’ mode.ĭeepPRIME XD (eXtreme Details) pushes uses AI modelling to pull out details in high ISO images that would previously have been lost in the DeNoise process. One of standout features of PhotoLab has always been the DxO DeepPRIME noise reduction. DeepPRIME XD requires PhotoLab 6 Elite and isn’t available in the Essentials version
