Its PhotoLibrary Window is where you browse and organize your images and, until this version, was a fairly basic image browser in the same vein as Adobe Bridge, say. DxO Wide Gamut is purely a working space, not a profile you use for output – you can use PhotoLab’s Soft Proofing tool to see how images will render on different output devices. DxO Wide Gamut is an ultra-wide working space devised by DxO to avoid the limitations of existing color spaces, especially in the handling of highly saturated colors. This makes it all the more likely you’ll be able to do necessary retouching entirely within PhotoLab and not have to use an external editor like Photoshop.ĭxO Wide Gamut working space with Soft Proofing mode: This is more of a behind-the-scenes improvement but an important one for DxO, which takes color science very seriously. PhotoLab already had a basic but effective healing tool for removing sensor spots and smaller objects, but PhotoLab 6’s new ReTouch tool takes this much further, with more control over your clone source, even offering scaling capabilities. It’s now possible to add color labels to images for smarter filtering, and PhotoLab 6 supports a wider range of EXIF And IPTC tags, bringing it more in line with rival programs.
You can now create nested Project Groups (folders) to store your Projects (albums), making PhotoLab 6 a much more effective large-scale cataloguing tool. PhotoLibrary improvements: Potentially just as useful on a day to day basis is what DxO has done with its previously somewhat weak PhotoLibrary panel.
The PhotoLibrary module gets a major upgrade, now with the ability to create and nest Project Groups for far superior organization of large image collections. And now there’s DeepPRIME XD (eXtra Detail) which does exactly what it promises, delivering unprecedented levels of fine detail in high-ISO images which were previously just a cloudy mush. Then came DeepPRIME, which used AI to combine spectacular levels of noise reduction with excellent detail retention in high-ISO shots.

New features in PhotoLab 6 It’s going to be hard to see in a screenshot, but PhotoLab 6’s new DeepPRIME XD processing delivers the best results yet from high-ISO images, with almost no noise and uncanny detail rendition. My comments, though, are restricted to features in PhotoLab 6 alone. NOTE: I also have DxO FilmPack 6, ViewPoint 4 and Nik Collection 5 installed, and which may appear as buttons, icons or panels in the screenshots below. We all work differently and DxO’s approach, using self-masking ‘control points’ is definitely different, and definitely effective. It ranks alongside Adobe Lightroom and Capture One for the quality and scope of its non-destructive editing tools, and you might find its own unique approach better than its rivals’. It also has extensive editing tools for optimising images, and local adjustments inherited from DxO’s acquisition of the Nik Collection. RAW processing and lens corrections are only a part of what PhotoLab does. DxO PhotoLab 6 is designed to offer the best RAW processing and lens corrections available, with state of the art noise reduction and powerful non-destructive editing and retouching tools. It uses DxO’s proprietary RAW demosaicing and processing process alongside lab-generated automatic lens correction profiles and new DeepPRIME XD processing technology to produce the best results from RAW files you’re likely to see. DxO PhotoLab 6 is both a RAW processing and lens correction tool and a powerful non-destructive photo editor.
