Both Control Points and the new Control lines are also equipped with sensitivity settings so you can use luminance (light) and chrominance (colour) sliders to adjust how strong the effect you're applying is. Now, when you have a large area you want to edit you can use the 'Control Lines' option as this selects larger areas faster. We've never had a bad word to say about the U Point Technology built into DxO PhotoLab as it's fun to use and makes applying/editing masks for specific photo edits a really simple process. U Point Technology: New Pointer & Control Lines Let's have a look at the new tools and improvements. Plus, tools such as the HSL colour wheel just make the whole process a bit more fun and the Control Points which use the in-built U-Point technology are still excellent tools for speeding up your workflow, especially with the introduction of Control Lines which we'll be looking at in more detail.Īs for performance, we didn't experience any issues with lag or loading which is a positive. The Customise tab where you make all of your edits is still easy to use and has plenty of tools that make improving your photos a straightforward process.

You can also move/remove/add panels so you can customise the workspace to show only the tools you need.Īs we've taken a look at previous versions of DxO PhotoLab, we won't be going into too many details about the overall performance and layout as you can see our comments on this in our previous reviews but, before we take a look at the new features on offer in DxO PhotoLab 5, we thought we'd summarise what we think of DxO PhotoLab overall and it's a really great piece of photo editing software that's backed up by a comprehensive photo library/management tool. The in-built PhotoLibrary means you can organise and then edit your images all in one place without having to switch in-and-out of different software and DxO has added new tools that improve how the PhotoLibrary works. The grey tones used for the user interface are great for photo editing as the neutral tones won't affect the colours/tones of the images you are working on. Those who have used previous versions of PhotoLab will be familiar with the setup and those who have used Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop will also see some similarities between the brands. When you first launch DxO PhotoLab 5 you are asked how many of the automated features you'd like to appear in your workspace so more experienced photo editors can choose to work in a less cluttered workspace with options to toggle palettes and automated features as needed.Īs with version 4 of the software, PhotoLab 5 offers two interfaces: PhotoLibrary and Customise so where you organise photos and edit them are kept separately.
