Awarded TIPA’s Best Imaging
Software for 3 years in a row

Your RAW images,
better than before

UPDATED - ELITE VERSION ONLY
Denoising and image enhancement like nothing else
DeepPRIME was a revolution for photographers and now DeepPRIME XD pushes it even further.

Powered by deep learning, it doesn’t simply remove noise. Its next level demosaicing retrieves previously unseen detail, boosts colors, and more.

It’s like nothing you’ve seen before — and all in just one click.

Lens corrections that set the standard
Built on 20 years of research in DxO’s purpose-built laboratories, PhotoLab 6’s optical corrections fix aberrations, softness, vignetting, and distortion.

With one click you can make even entry-level lenses look professional.

UPDATED
A wider color gamut for beautiful colors at every step
Improved color processing algorithms and a vast new working color space allow you to harness the full potential of modern monitors and printers. Ensure authentic reproduction for even the most saturated colors.

ELITE VERSION ONLY
Complemented with a new Soft Proofing mode for accurate prints, this is photo editing software that transforms your images into stunning works of art.

Intelligent, accurate color editing tools
With PhotoLab 6’s ColorWheel, you get an innovative, intuitive tool that allows both quick fixes when you need them, and endless control when you want to dive deeper.

Use smart, simple tools that deliver spectacular results

Local adjustments without the complications
Say goodbye to complex masks and imprecise brushes when making local adjustments.

PhotoLab’s U Point™ interface allows you to target edits on color and tone, making your workflow faster and more intuitive.

Master dynamic range with a single slider
The Smart Lighting tool instantly gives you a natural balance between highlights and shadows — and without using masks.

Because it assesses the scene, auto mode gives you great results, but there’s always the option to fine-tune to get the exact balance that you’re looking for.

Add intensity in just a few clicks
In atmospheric shots, ClearView lets you cut through haze, mist, fog, and water, adding detail and impact with a simple slider — but that’s not all.

It can also bring intensity to portraits, improving contrast for a richer and more characterful look.

UPDATED - ELITE VERSION ONLY
Groundbreaking repair tools
Can you really perform precise and realistic cloning and healing in a RAW converter? With DxO PhotoLab 6 you can.

Thanks to the powerful new ReTouch tools, you can rotate and flip source points, as well as resize and edit selections for total control — all without other software slowing down your workflow.

Every year, you are my go to for PL improvements. Always the most thorough and impressive presentation. Thank you.

[NadimOmran]

As soon as I read about DXO Photolab going today on all FB photography groups. I directly searched for you because you are the best ambassador for DXO and the one who explains the best way about new features!

[alx]

Brill vid, Joseph. DxO is the coolest. You must have espn....I saw one of your older vids where you stated "You'll probably need an M3 Mac, or something". Yup, that's the deal! I'm jumping M2 to hit up M3 later this year. More power for PL fun. Cheers.

Did they add Metadata presets now? Being able to add contact details is great, but not if we have to add it manually every shoot.

I've been having issues with deep prime and gh6 files. For some reason, I often find a green tint in the shadows. Would you know why or have you had similar issues?

[niveus]

Hi, you showed how there is a link between PhotoLab 6 and Photo Mechanic so you can change colour or star ratings between each application. Does PhotoLab 6 also recognise the crops that you do in Photo Mechanic? So far the only software that does it is Lightroom. I am using LR5 and would like to move to a non subscription application like PL6 but as an amateur sports photographer, I am a heavy user of PM6, so what something that can use all work I do in PM6.

[ddsdss]

Please confirm if one can use ViewPoint 4 within the PL6 space as a first step before applying other corrections (such as tonality/color). The reason I ask is that I have PL5 Elite and Nik4 (I'll upgrade these when the price drops to a reasonable upgrade level--DxO charges too much for upgrades, negating their advantage over Adobe's subscription model and the least they can do is cut the upgrade price to 50% of its current level to reward loyal customers!) and I've been frustrated that Perspective Efex (which I thought basically replaced ViewPoint, but apparently not) and the other Nik plug-ins can't handle RAW files (plus PE needs the original file to work). This is a pain, as a "normal" workflow would be to correct for perspective (e.g., what you could've achieved with a view camera or tilt/shift) and crop if necessary and then apply other editing. Ideally, DxO would do what Topaz has done with their IQ suite--combine their key tools into one program. The way it "should" work is that I open a RAW file in PL, apply ViewPoint if necessary, then any other editing (including Nik plug-ins) within the PL workspace, and then save as a TIFF or JPG for printing with no need to export to another workspace (except in cases such as where Topaz Photo AI may provide further enhancement). I don't think that's asking too much! Thanks for your explanations--you do help with the DxO learning curve and please pass the feedback to them (as I know it reflects the attitude of many users from what I've read in the forums). IMO, DxO's tools are superior to most of what's out there (and I recommend them all the time), but they're not cheap...

I have always used DXO PhotoLab on images that are already in a folder on my hard drive (Via PhotoMechanic). Is it possible to download images from my SD card to my iMac directly in DXO PhotoLAB 6?? If so, How? If not, this feature would make the program a complete package.

[iraj]

I use PL4 and can't wait to upgrade to PL6, but as a Canon user switching to Fuji XH2, I hear here and there that Photolab doesn't support Fuji raw files or Fuji-camera/EF lens combinations. Is that true? It would be sad to switch from Photolab to some other software

[MartinHarvey]

From another review, I heard that Fuji RAF files are again unsupported. This is very disappointing especially as it was only recent that RAF were supported. Have you any idea if this will be fixed in PhotoLab 6? Thanks.

[Eigil_Skovgaard]

Hi Joseph. In your capacity of a DxO ambassador maybe you can give me your take on why DxO's support is one of the lowest ranking on Trustpilot. This surprises and disappoints me when I think of the general software quality and the clever marketing. The reason for finding the "two stars" on Trustpilot was this: As a user of PureRAW 2 I had found a workaround - by "conveting" the DxO DNG with the Adobe DNG Converter! - to solve a couple of problems I had with "not supported software" and in the way colors were rendered in Adobe Bridge compared to ACR (when using ARW raw files). But - when I asked support if they were interested in those phenomenons, the reaction was surprisingly slow and the attitude was evasive.
My question is: Why are so many people having a bad experience with DxO's support? - as if this part of the service is totally disconnected from the level of development and marketing.

Much better results with DXO PureRaw !

I just uploaded the new PL6, but also with PL5 I have had problems with Deep Prime and now Deep Prime XD. I have Windows 10 and an AMD Radeon RX580 graphics card. I get a message from AMD in a box: "AMD Bug Report Tool: AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on your system." I have driver 30.0 15021.11005 which is pretty upto date. Any suggestions?
