DXO Photo Lab 6.1
Version 6.1 of Photo Lab introduces updates to smooth workflow, improve existing tools, and enhance the power of the library. Here are some of the improvements:
DxO adds a slider to the soft proofing palette and export window that protects saturated colours.
The PhotoLibrary also sees improvements. The colour tags introduced in version 6 are made more accessible as they can now be applied when browsing and culling images in full-screen mode, and changes have been made to keywords.
Users can search for images within an entire keywords hierarchy (as opposed to just children), and it’s now possible to apply an entire keyword hierarchy or selected keywords to an image. When filtering, the menu of options has been updated to give a more logical order and new icons have been introduced.
In addition, Windows users have extra options for projects and creating project groups, the Preferences panel now has a new Metadata tab, and macOS users can now add keyword hierarchy to the DC subject.
Version 6.1 brings some updates to the interface, improving usability, too. DxO PhotoLab 6’s new ReTouch tool has been enhanced: the visibility of the outline of shapes has been improved and shapes are no longer lost when activating and deactivating the “Show mask” option.
Users with DxO ViewPoint 4 installed will also notice that the cropped area is visible when using the innovative ReShape tool, allowing for more precise warping adjustments.
Similarly, Windows users will find that the cropped area of an image is visible when using the Repair tool and when making changes through Local Adjustments, giving greater flexibility while editing.
