You can see the before and after in the image below – I think it does a pretty good job! It isn’t too different to the way a camera ‘processes’ a JPEG file. Unlike many raw editing programs, PhotoLab uses its database of lenses to make automatic changes by reading the metadata about the camera information and enhancing the image. It can apply general and localised edits to photographs and allow the simple editing of meta-data to the files. Where does it fit into my current workflow, and does it enhance or hinder how I edit? PhotoLab 5 closely aligns with the editing I do in Adobe Lightroom. When I am trying out new software, I try to find the use-case for it. We’ve had a sneak preview of both packages to see how they can help the editing process. Today (20 October), it is launching an update to two of its tools PhotoLab moves to version 5 and FilmPack upgrades to version 6. Over time, it also began to produce photo-editing software that used the data from its lens testing business to correct photos. DxO started life as a photography consultancy, where it gained a reputation for testing and benchmarking lenses.
