If the software doesn’t already have a profile for that camera and lens combination, it will offer to download one – this process takes just a few moments. PhotoLab will look up camera and lens correction profiles automatically and offer to download them if they are not already installed.Īll of this happens automatically. Having said this, if that’s all you need, you might be better off with the cheaper and simpler DxO PureRAW. (It can also be used to edit and enhance JPEGs, but here it loses any real advantage over rival software.) Straight away, without you having to know or do anything, it will make your RAW files look great.

It will automatically apply lens corrections and default processing adjustments as soon as you browser a folder full of RAW files.

folders you’ve visited in PhotoLab or added for manual indexing.
You can also search for images in ‘index’ folders, i.e. 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.
