I’m going with the first option – I’ve written about the Library Management capabilities of PhotoLab before, although that article is due an update. As a Library Management tool in its own right.

As a part of an Adobe Lightroom workflow.The easiest way to describe a workflow is to step through the paces, so that’s what we’re going to do here. DxO have taken something that works and made it work better.ĭeep Prime was already, hands down, the best noise reduction software available. The U Point interface is definitely an improvement.

Improved PhotoLibrary functionality brings the product closer to being a credible alternative to Adobe Lightroom. These are all things that users have been crying out for, particularly the Fujifilm support. just all work very clean with a round trip to & from LR giving me more than one Develop module.Support for Fujifilm X-Trans files (in beta) I find LR is the best software for using Plug-ins. At the moment that is Dx0 PhotoLab to cull what I want to work on, export to tiff, and then Develop/Edit in LR/PS. Then I can use the software I prefer to develop/edit with. I find culling through the RAW files and then exporting to dng or tiff allows me my best starting point image. Right now, I am really liking DX0 PhotoLab for the demosaic/settings application it uses. Which software is best is likely a matter of personal preference - you must select what you like best. Once exported to either tiff or dng this demosaic process is no longer necessary so the tiff/dng can be imported into any software desired for develop and editing. All this software (even LR now) is quite good at providing a good RAW image to start on. LR, C1, On1, ACDSee, and PhotoLab all produce just a little different view of the RAW file once it has been processed (that is Demosaic and Settings applied). With the X-trans sensor LR requires a preset or 'Import with Camera settings' to be useful. I own and play with several different software to determine which provides the best starting point to work on my image from. Yes, I can do this in LR just as easily, but the demosaic and default settings of Dx0 PhotoLab give me a more appealing image to work on. View in Full Screen allows me to see my files much clearer and a simple - P or X designates the fate of a RAW file. I find I really like it for culling my Raw files to decide which I want to work on. I just started experimenting with Dx0 PhotoLab since they finally started to support my Fuji cameras.

Is dxo photolab 3 only for raw files
