DxO software packages

The PhotoLab world DxO Labs provides three software tools that can help to produce images to faithfully reflect what was shot and a range of creative tools in a continuous sequence of treatments. The tutorial “Getting started with PhotoLab” presents the development of images from the raw file. DxO PhotoLab Read more…

Presets

A preset is a collection of corrections applied in one step. PhotoLab applies the “1- DxO Standard” preset when opening the photo. These are the basic improvements that the software provides. This preset is very efficient when the Digital Camera body+ Lens combo is supported.  See the tutorial “Mastery of Read more…

White Balance

White Balance adjust is a preliminary common to all raw development software. That is why it is placed at the beginning of the “Basic Tools” palette whose tools are ordered to be reviewed from top to bottom. Generalities The most efficient way to assign a color temperature to the scene’s Read more…

Exposure Compensation

Exposure Compensation shifts the global brightness. This setting provides to PhotoLab about the photographic intent, the desired tonality by the photographer. It is very useful to recover the overexposed images, exposure to the right for raw photos (ETTR). The properties window (Ctrl+ I / information pop-up window) informs about the Read more…

DxO Smart Lighting

Smart Lighting is a DxO exclusive that includes a mechanism aiming at using the whole dynamic range from the image. It allows visual tonal adjustment with immediate results, rather than guessing how to draw the tone curve.It solves most overexposures except for irreparable (real) clippings, which only the tone curve Read more…

Selective Tone

Selective Tone, traditional in its presentation, is the next logical correction after the Smart Lighting to give character to the image by controlling the overall brightness according to three tone ranges.* The “Blacks” slider lets you set the blacks threshold.  * The “Whites” slider doesn’t exist. Exposure compensation must be used.  See Read more…

DxO ClearView

The DxO ClearView (Dehaze on other software) is a special treatment for landscapes that boosts contrasts to remove the atmospheric veil and blurs the mist.It is available with the Elite Edition of PhotoLab. PhotoLab offers an exclusive treatment which is a concentrate of microcontrast accentuation coupled with an increase in Read more…

Contrast – Sharpness

Smart Lighting and ClearView corrections and, to some extent, the Selective tone have done most of the brightness and contrast optimization.The contrast corrections act mainly on the impression of sharpness.The preset “3- Neutral Colors” causes a 20 point decreases in contrast to soften the image and prepare a more delicate Read more…

Color Adjustment – HSL

Color Accentuation This feature is similar to other software.  The distinction of PhotoLab’s Vibrance slider is to automatically limit the increase of the saturation on already saturated tints on the one hand, and to avoid the clipping of the colors on the other hand.– In the positive direction, it acts Read more…

Noise reduction

PhotoLab offers four noise reduction algorithms.The function is called “DxO Denoising Technologies” (sic). * High Quality, conventional noise processing to be manually adjusted when post-processing raster images (usually JPEG)* HQ (fast) is a very powerful processing to be applied by default on raw photos.PhotoLab’s preview window (the main window that Read more…
