DxO today released DxO PhotoLab, successor to the company's highly regarded OpticsPro raw image conversion software, which now incorporates Nik Software's U Point technology.
This local adjustment technology allows users, with just a few clicks and Control Points, to make complex selections, which would normally take meticulous, time-consuming work using a brush tool. Following this recent acquisition, DxO PhotoLab is now the only software to offer U Point technology in a non-destructive raw image conversion workflow. To provide photographers with all the tools they need to make local corrections, DxO is rounding out DxO PhotoLab’s feature list with an auto mask retouching brush that’s perfect for making precise selections, especially on portraits, as well as a graduated filter tool that’s useful for landscape photography. These tools share many similarities with Control Points: they give all users access to essential settings options, including exposure, contrast, white balance, micro-contrast, vibrancy, sharpness, and the addition of a bokeh effect. Dxo PhotoLab also includes a repair tool that has been rebuilt from the ground up. The interface is just as simple as before, featuring a simple brush that can be used on the areas that need retouching; but the underlying algorithm provides much better — and faster — results. The Essential and Elite editions of DxO PhotoLab for PC and Mac can be downloaded from the DxO website.
