    and fidelity

DxO's pioneering Modules are renowned for giving photographers the best possible performance from their gear, and are applied automatically depending on metadata. Lens softness adjustments are tailored according to the idiosyncrasies of individual lenses. They don't simply sharpen uniformly across the entire image like in other software.

UPDATED IN V9

Noise reduction powered by machine learning.
DeepPRIME 3, DeepPRIME XD, and DeepPRIME XD2s eliminate noise, recover detail, and improve color reproduction. A conventional technology, ‘Standard’, is included for when speed is crucial. Choose automatic settings or dial them in manually. Use the new large live preview magnifier to see the impact of denoising — plus all of your other edits.

Extra-wide gamut working color space (DxO Wide Gamut) ensures accurate rendering throughout the workflow. Soft Proofing mode ensures accurate colors when preparing files for print or display. Simulate ink and paper via ICC profiles. Create calibrated color profiles using industry-standard color charts to ensure precision.

Advanced History palette provides a full editing history including specific values and changes. Grouped corrections can be expanded when applying presets in order to track individual changes. Quick Compare Mode puts your edit alongside the original image with a vertical or horizontal split. You can compare your current image with output versions and virtual copies, or choose a reference image.

Create Virtual Copies for multiple variations of an image without copying the RAW file. Compare quickly with the original image, and selectively copy/paste settings between images.

Highly customizable workspace:  reposition/hide panels, collapse/expand palettes, and use a search field to quickly find tools. Add your most-used tools to a favorites palette, or create custom palettes. Filter displayed corrections by category. Display only the tools actively making changes to an image. Use multiple monitors and palettes. Place the grid view navigator on a second display.

Display RGB, individual colors, and luminosity channels. Indicate where highlights and/or shadows have been clipped. Display the RGB value of an individual pixel.

Don't import images; simply browse your disk and edit your images on the fly. Select/search/filter photos with ease. Apply star ratings, color tags, pick/reject images, and choose from a range of criteria when searching, including color tags. For faster searching, simply direct DxO PhotoLab to index specific folders.

Add and manage keywords, create keyword hierarchies, drag/drop keywords to organize them in a tree view list. Import and manage Exif and IPTC metadata, and selectively copy/paste metadata from one image to multiple others. Synchronize metadata changes with third-party applications.


Create Projects to gather selections of images, independent of their folder. Create groups of Projects and drag/drop to organize virtual collections. Batch rename files, adjust capture time, drag files to folders to copy/move them, and sort/select files according to flexible options.
