6 – Local Adjustments in DxO PhotoLab

DxO PhotoLab’s Local Adjustments are a way for the photographer to enrich his images and improve their readability.

The Local Adjustments of DxO PhotoLab are complementary to the Global corrections already made but limited to the mask.

The Local Adjustment palette of DxO PhotoLab allows access to different masks.

The Local Adjustment Control Line tool in DxO PhotoLab is a graduated filter that uses Control Point technology (U Points).

The Local Adjustment Control Point of DxO PhotoLab is of a particular nature, it takes into account the brightness as well as the color of the area to be corrected.

DxO PhotoLab’s Auto Mask Local Adjustment automatically determines its boundary within the painted area by contrast detection or color change.

DxO PhotoLab’s Local Adjustment Brush is used to create a completely free-form mask of the image. It is the universal, basic and easy to use tool.

In DxO PhotoLab’s Local Adjustment, handling the eraser is comparable to using a paintbrush. Only Local Adjustments with drawn masks can be erased – Auto mask, brush and graduated filter.

DxO PhotoLab’s Graduated Filter Local Adjustment is a mask that separates the image into two areas. This mask is perfectly suited for the sky.

DxO PhotoLab is a parametric software, so the Local Adjustments function can be implemented and then modified at any time during the development process.
