However, I also often see complaints that details can look pixelated and over-processed.

They also allow DxO FilmPack and DxO ViewPoint (as well as PhotoLab) to automatically correct optical defects such as distortion, chromatic aberrations and vignetting.One of the things some people often like about Capture One when they first try it is that they find it gives them sharper images or more detail than other software. The optical modules, which give specific camera/lens support, are designed in DxO's laboratories and contain information on thousands of camera/lens combinations. Several new cameras are also supported, taking the total number of optical modules featured in the DxO Libary to over 46,000. The final new feature is that DxO now supports the DCP colour profile which means the software is now capable of delivering colour renderings that are compatible with and close to those of third-party photo editing programs like Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW as well as camera colour calibration solutions like X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo and DNG Profile Editor. You can also use the tool on the entire image or just to specific areas using the local adjustment tools. The improved DxO ClearView Plus feature in DxO PhotoLab 2 can be used to remove haze and improve contrast in images and with the latest version, the tool creates better transitions between light/dark areas, too. Essentially, it works like Lightroom's Library section so if you've used that before, you'll find the DxO PhotoLibrary in PhotoLab pretty easy to work with.

Other useful features still found in the software include UPoint, Prime Noise and Smart Lighting, of which, we'll mention briefly but if you want more information on how they work, you should take a look at our previous review.Īs mentioned, the Organise tab has been removed and replaced with the DxO PhotoLibrary which you can use to navigate through files, browse multiple images found in one folder/project, add ratings etc. Since last time we reviewed the software, ClearView Plus has been added along with support for various new cameras and the DCP colour profile. There is a new DxO PhotoLibrary section which replaces the Organise tab but apart from that, the UI is pretty much the same.

Create.ĭxO PhotoLab 2.2 will still feel very familiar for previous PhotoLab users and those who are new to the software will soon find themselves navigating all of the tools on offer easily. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably.
