New in PhotoLab 5, though, is support for EXIF and IPTC metadata. It’s not Lightroom by any means, but for those who like to organize their images with physical folders it’s fine. First, it has an improved PhotoLibrary panel where you can browse your images by folders, carry out basic searches based on image parameters and even create virtual Projects (or albums). So let’s take a look at what DxO PhotoLab 5 can do from a workflow perspective. The DxO PhotoLibrary is a basic but effective image organizer, now with EXIF, IPTC metadata support and keywords. Both versions will correct lens distortion, chromatic aberration, corner shading and even edge softness automatically, but to get the perspective correction tools we now take for granted in other software for fixing converging verticals, for example, you need to get the DxO ViewPoint add-on, which is more again. What PhotoLab does not have built in is perspective correction tools, even in the Elite edition.
1 month plan - £0 per month (£0 total cost). Quite apart from anything else, it comes with DxO’s very effective ClearView contrast enhancement and its uncannily effective DeepPRIME noise reduction – which could completely change your mind about ‘acceptable’ ISO settings on your camera. Requires Windows XP, Vista or 7 (32-bit and 64-bit supported)ĭxO FilmPack is an add on for DxO Optics Pro to add more filtering effect.PhotoLab 5 is sold in both Essential and Elite editions, but if you want the best that DxO’s raw processing can offer, we would recommend the more expensive Elite edition. Fun to play around with for photo sharing afterwards. Use many classic filters to make new photos look older. Adds 60 film rendition filters via the FilmPack. The change only takes but a few seconds to do. Only a few clicks are needed in order to change a photo to one of the filters from the Film pack and it can easily be reversed too. The film pack can fully render an analog look complete with altered contrast, grain, saturation and colors to perfectly reproduce classic looks. Reproduce classic looks like a Poloroid appearance, a Fuji Reala film effect or a Kodak Tri-X grain effect to existing shots.
DxO FilmPack is an add on to the DxO Optics Pro software package which adds classic film appearance overlay filters to the software to enable users to be able to do more with it.
