DxO PhotoLab 5

RAW file data from today’s high-res cameras makes greater demands on the photographer’s image processing program than ever before. TIPA jury members understand that with more data comes the potential for greater creativity via more nuanced controls, nimbler image management, and more speed to handle large-file image processing tasks, all areas in which DxO PhotoLab 5 proves up to the task. This latest version of PhotoLab incorporates a further refinement of U Point algorithm, a unique control for advanced masking and fine tuning of RAW images over a wide range of parameters, all while offering a nondestructive workflow. Image volume management, a real issue with today’s high-frame rate cameras, is addressed with improved keyword and metadata management. And, a faster version of DxO’s AI DeepPRIME, which provides exceptional quality for “de-noising” and demosaicing RAW images, with a much improved quality gain especially on high ISO images.
