DXO PHOTOLAB 3 TUTORIAL HOW TO

You can browse folders on your computer (which is all many photographers need, admittedly) but while you can create ‘Projects’ (PhotoLab’s equivalent of ‘albums’), these are displayed in a simple linear list and are really only useful for work in progress rather than long-term organisation. The PhotoLibrary window is where you browse and organise your photos – though the organising tools are quite basic compared to those in Lightroom or Capture One, for example. The DxO PhotoLab PhotoLibrary PhotoLab 5 adds IPTC metadata and keywords to its PhotoLibrary tools – but at heart it’s still a photo browser and not a full-blown image cataloguing tool like Lightroom or Capture One. These are separate add-ons described below in the review. The screenshots also show palettes and tools from DxO ViewPoint and FilmPack. PhotoLab 5 comes in two versions: Essential and Elite. Where Optics Pro was simply a RAW processing and lens correction tool, PhotoLab adds local adjustments to become a much more powerful photo editing tool.
