Accepts raw files from 500+ different camera models.Comprehensive image management and editing features.Updates include an uprated version of the DeepPRIME engine, a more powerful retouching tool, integration of keystoning features from DxO ViewPoint, a new internal color space called DxO Wide Gamut, tools for soft-proofing your creations prior to printing, and a raft of minor enhancements to image management, cropping and more. Now here comes PhotoLab 6, yet another major release from the French company to see us through the next year, and this one promises to be more capable than ever. It also took on the clever U-Point local editing tech that DxO first inherited when it bought Google's Nik Collection suite, and offered better image management tools to boot.

In the intervening version 5, PhotoLab finally received support for Fujifilm X-Trans cameras, answering the pleas of the Fujifilm faithful. It's likewise been a couple of years since last we looked at PhotoLab 4, so before we introduce the new PhotoLab 6, perhaps a little catchup is in order. One of the strongest rivals to Adobe Lightroom, PhotoLab is available for both Windows and macOS, and has long been a favorite of ours thanks both to its automated lens/exposure corrections and its powerful – arguably, class-leading – DeepPRIME denoising engine. It's been five years now since DxO relaunched its long-running Optics Pro Raw editor under a brand-new name, DxO PhotoLab. You can also apply presets and export final versions from each thumbnail's right-click menu. DxO PhotoLab 6 shown in its PhotoLibrary mode, where you can view, browse, search, tag and label your creations.
