I wish for Luma curves option as in Capture One – to adjust curves without affecting colors. They are there and they somehow work for basic color adjustments but they don't come even close to Lightroom HSL tool. I hope they will copy those excelent Lightroom sliders one day. It also affects mid tones.Īlso if I have a photo which needs more drastic highlights recovery I do it in Lightroom because I can't recover as much highlights in DxO as I can in Lightroom or in Capture One. The most anoying is Highlights slider – it doesn't affects just highlights but also mid tones. Let's say I'm using it for 95% of my photos.īut there are some things I don't like and I'm hoping they will fix them in the next release: I only wish I could move those sliders because sometimes they get in a way.

I also like ClearView and Prime noise removal is the best out there. It's very easy to use and gives me very good results. I started with version 8 and did all I could up to version 12 to like it but I don't like it (sorry) so I don't use it.ĭxO Photolab….I must say I like this software very much. I'm using DxO software from version 9 or it was DxO Optics Pro 8? Can't remember.Īnyhow at the moment I'm using DxO Photolab 2 Elite, Lightroom standalone edition 2018 and Capture One Pro 12. Nikon Z fc, Nikkor Z 16-50mm, Nikkor Z 40mm f/2, Nikkor Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE), Nikkor Z DX 18-140mm, Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2, Voigtlander 23mm f/1.2, DXO PhotoLab 5 Elite, DXO FilmPack 6 Elite, DXO ViewPoint 3 Support for the M50 was included in release 2.2 which became available last week. Supposedly support for the M50 is coming in April.

The only downsides so far have been (1) no way to delete all photos that have been marked as rejected (I use that to quickly purge shots in LR), (2) adjustments (saturation & luminescence) for individual color channels does not seem to work quite as well, and (3) DxO has not added support yet for the Canon M50 mirrorless body I purchased last year, so I have been forced to convert the RAW files to DNG and then process those within Lightroom 6. The ClearView function makes pulling details out of skies easier. For the most part, I prefer DxO over LR for what I shoot - which is mostly landscapes. I switched from Lightroom 6 to DxO PhotoLab over a year ago for most of my post processing, as I refused to go the subscription route with Adobe.
