The Essential version has the optical corrections and a few additional controls but DxO PhotLab 5 Elite, reviewed here, has the full range of tools including the DeepPRIME and ClearView. Like the previous versions of DxO PhotoLab, PhotoLab 5 enables localised adjustment using U-Point technology, however, thanks to new tools, the area targeted for adjustment can sometimes be refined more easily than in previous editions.ĭxO PhotoLab 5 is available in two versions, Essential and Elite. The Elite version of DxO PhotoLab 5 also features an upgraded (faster) version of DxO DeepPRIME that benefits from artificial intelligence and deep learning for incredible noise reduction. In an exciting new development for PhotoLab, the latest version is compatible with some Fujifilm X-Trans CMOS sensors.

Consequently, when you use PhotoLab for the first time, you’re prompted to download the necessary correction modules. The automatic corrections are available for different camera and lens combinations. It uses DxO’s in-depth understanding of optical flaws and how to correct them to enable automatic corrections, but it’s also possible to make global and local adjustments manually.

PhotoLab 5 is the latest version of DxO’s excellent image-editing and optical correction software.
