And now there’s DeepPRIME XD (eXtra Detail) which does exactly what it promises, delivering unprecedented levels of fine detail in high-ISO images which were previously just a cloudy mush. Then came DeepPRIME, which used AI to combine spectacular levels of noise reduction with excellent detail retention in high-ISO shots.

New features in PhotoLab 6 It’s going to be hard to see in a screenshot, but PhotoLab 6’s new DeepPRIME XD processing delivers the best results yet from high-ISO images, with almost no noise and uncanny detail rendition. My comments, though, are restricted to features in PhotoLab 6 alone.

NOTE: I also have DxO FilmPack 6, ViewPoint 4 and Nik Collection 5 installed, and which may appear as buttons, icons or panels in the screenshots below. We all work differently and DxO’s approach, using self-masking ‘control points’ is definitely different, and definitely effective.

It ranks alongside Adobe Lightroom and Capture One for the quality and scope of its non-destructive editing tools, and you might find its own unique approach better than its rivals’. It also has extensive editing tools for optimising images, and local adjustments inherited from DxO’s acquisition of the Nik Collection. RAW processing and lens corrections are only a part of what PhotoLab does. DxO PhotoLab 6 is designed to offer the best RAW processing and lens corrections available, with state of the art noise reduction and powerful non-destructive editing and retouching tools. It uses DxO’s proprietary RAW demosaicing and processing process alongside lab-generated automatic lens correction profiles and new DeepPRIME XD processing technology to produce the best results from RAW files you’re likely to see. DxO PhotoLab 6 is both a RAW processing and lens correction tool and a powerful non-destructive photo editor.
