A well-polished and feature rich photo editing suite designed for developing raw image files, applying lens corrections and fixing lighting and color levels.

As a photographer, you've probably experienced firsthand that having skills and top-of-the-line equipment isn't always enough to guarantee a hundred percent success rate during a photo shoot. Fortunately, in this day and age, there's a plethora of software solutions available that can help you refine your photographs in various ways. And one such tool is DxO PhotoLab, formerly known as DxO Optics Pro.

Professional-level processing of raw digital photos

This photo processing tool takes things up a notch by offering new technologies for optical corrections with its U Point feature, an improved RAW processing toolbox, and more. You can now do mask retouching for more accurate and faster selections, apply better filtering options, and enjoy additional graphic effects.

Improve the sharpness of photos with AI

The lens sharpness correction tool has been upgraded to give you more advanced control over noise levels. Plus, the rebuild repair tool now relies on a faster algorithm that can remove unwanted elements in a photo more quickly.

When it comes to managing your photos, DxO PhotoLab makes things a piece of cake for even the most inexperienced users. You can easily find and load your projects with a tree-view, like Windows Explorer, and a reel that shows you the contents of the current folder. Additionally, you can perform a search, compare before and after states of the same photograph, change the zoom levels, preview mode, or reset everything if you want.

A number of included presets, customization and retouching capabilities

DxO PhotoLab also offers a broad range of tools to enhance your pictures' qualities, from presets to basic photo adjustments like contrast, brightness, and saturation. And if you want to take things up a notch, the "Customize" button gives you access to advanced customization features, such as setting the RGB white balance, enabling exposure compensation, cropping the photo, activating the DxO Smart Lighting and ClearView modules, and changing parameters regarding light, color, detail, and geometry.

For those who prefer to keep things simple, a handy context menu is available. With a right-click, you can access an outstanding amount of functions, such as quickly exporting your file locally or to various websites, applying a preset, creating a project, renaming the file, rotating the image, creating a virtual copy, or setting a tag. And there's more to discover in the menu, but we'll let you uncover them on your own.

In closing

All in all, if you're seeking a way to elevate your photo projects to the next level, consider giving DxO PhotoLab a shot. With all the necessary tools and more, this powerful image editing tool could be just what you need to bring your photos to life.
