There is a special upgrade for PhotoLab 2 Essential users to the current Elite, and that comes in at 100 Eurodollars, and this may apply to those who’ve gotten Essential included with a purchase of the Nik Collection. Pricing for Essential (which I do not recommend) is 100 and 50 Eurodollars, respectively. The (superior, all-included) Elite version will cost 150 Eurodollars during that time, or 70 for an upgrade. ![]() Some of the latest lenses are also still missing, such as the stellar Pentax D FA* 50mm f/1.4 and DA* 11-16mm, although Pentax support seems to have generally improved.įor the first month, the software is available at a special launch discount – that’s until November 24th according to the grapevine. It’s reasonable, therefore, to assume that Leica Monochrom cameras will also not work with the software. This is probably at least in part because DxO PRIME would not work on other sensor layouts. ![]() In terms of camera support, DxO stands by its decision to only support Fujifilm cameras extremely selectively – even those that use a Bayer layout and should therefore be supported without problems, but only two of the X-A series and the original X100 are supported at this point. System requirements weren’t particularly legacy-friendly in the last version, requiring at least macOS Sierra or 64-bit Windows 7, but they’ve been increased further to macOS High Sierra and 64-bit Windows 8.1, and I suspect there’s not even any particularly good reason for this. There is also a hint that deconvolution sharpening à la Piccure Plus has been somewhat silently implemented – I did not see this in my testing of the earlier version, PhotoLab 2, but it seems to be there in this example from DxO’s website: Perhaps this will go some way towards fixing the traditionally bad rendering DxO gives to the output of some cameras. ![]() (Capture One also only does one of these, and I can’t remember right now which one it is.) As a new feature, and one-upping what ON1 Photo RAW 2020 now does (“AI Match”, which approximates the look of an OOC JPEG), DxO PhotoLab can now reproduce the OOC look of other cameras. The new HSL colour selection wheel in particular, while clearly inspired by Capture One’s similar colour selection model, is a somewhat poor imitation in not allowing selection by brightness/value (e.g. * (promised for the Windows version with the next update of DxO PhotoLab 3, urgh!) “U point” controls in action Other than mostly catching up with Lightroom in the areas of keywording* and cloning controls, this latest version mainly has improvements in the area of selections, either by hue (using an HSL colour model) or by means of selection gradients and/or control points (a patent they own via their acquisition of Nik software). ![]() DxO has released PhotoLab 3, which is actually the 14th iteration of its flagship RAW processing software.
