Photographers can now transform the source through mirroring, rotating and scaling, or use brushes to fine-tune the area they’re editing into a more accurate shape. New tools for powerful retouchingĭxO PhotoLab 6 adds the new ReTouch tool that extends the capability of healing and cloning well beyond that of other RAW processing software. The upgrades allow authentic reproduction for even the most saturated colors, and ensure that photographers can harness the full potential of the latest monitors and printers. These are complemented by a Soft Proofing mode to ensure accuracy throughout the entire workflow, allowing photographers to make adjustments according to how their photographs will be reproduced for display, whether it’s on a high-definition screen or as a fine-art print. The results speak for themselves.” More accurate color for better imagesĭxO PhotoLab 6 introduces re-engineered color processing algorithms that push the boundaries of color management, and a new, extended working color space. “We were thrilled by the response to DeepPRIME in DxO PhotoLab 5, but we knew we could do more,” explains DxO’s VP of Marketing and Product Strategy, Jean-Marc Alexia. “The new DeepPRIME XD has been a year in development and the AI has literally been teaching itself how to do its job better. The original DeepPRIME mode is also still on board for faster enhancements or for images that simply need less adjustment. And because it is fundamental to the RAW conversion process, DeepPRIME XD can even increase dynamic range, providing photographers with greater flexibility when shooting in low-light situations. For example, an image shot at 4000 ISO will more closely resemble an image captured at 500 ISO in terms of noise, color and clarity. DeepPRIME XD uses a neural network trained using billions of image samples and routinely gives photographers improvements of more than 2.5 stops.
