We suggest downloading a trial version of the software to see for yourself, if you’re RAW format is not listed here. Of course in this review we do not have the space to comment on all file formats. In addition to JPEG images, we’ve made edits to images of a few RAW files formats Nikon NEF, Sony ARW and Canon CR2 files. The software will automatically detect the RAW files being imported and download any necessary camera/ lens combination DxO profiles (‘modules’) for these files.

This review is based on the Elite version 1.1.0 build 56, using a MacBook Pro Retina (early 2015) with 16GB memory, 2.7GHz processor and Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.2 operating system.ĭxO regularly adds profiles for lenses, so there is no concern about compatibility issues with new RAW files. We expect most users will want the Elite Edition, which among other things has the new PRIME 2016 denoising RAW tool, ClearView, anti-moire tool and Presets editor. There is a list on the DxO website highlighting the difference between the two Editions. The Essential edition costs £99 while the Elite Edition is £159. There is a free one month trial to try the software out first. Now, fine quality adjustments are all in one package. These are encouraging steps in the right direction for DxO.ĭxO PhotoLab starts at £99 and is available on the DxO website. Let’s take a closer look.ĭxO PhotoLabs is available in two editions Essential and Elite. You don’t need to go through the hassle of making general RAW edits to an image in the DxO software, only to then reopen it in different software in order to make localised adjustments. It is now possible to make edits to selected areas within an image. So what’s new? Mainly, localised image adjustments. Many will swear by its RAW image editing quality over competitors such as Adobe Lightroom.ĭxO PhotoLab builds on DxO Optics Pro. It’s quite easy and quick to create images with excellent sharpness, low noise and wide tonal range. 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. DxO PhotoLab was launched in the last quarter of 2017 and succeeds DxO Optics Pro.
