Finally feel that Local Adjustments and Control Points have been made accessible - much appreciated, thanks Rob
awesome Video!!, thank you , looking forward to see more video
Thanks for watching!
Dear Rob: you are the absolute best! Thank you so much. You clarify how things work. I’ve been through a few DXO tutorials and they hypnotize me with unnecessary details while you get straight to the point and demonstrate how it works better than anyone else.
Thanks, Guy. I try.
One of the best advices is the one at 13.11 Works on all systems 🙂
Great video. Thanks 🙏
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this clear and straight to the point explainer 😀!
Perfect timing! I’m halfway through my 30-day trial and your video has helped quite a bit!
Happy to help!
Great tutorial. I have been using DXO for years & love it!
Thanks! Me too.
Exactly what I was hoping for to begin to find my way... Thank you for your precious help! 👍
You are welcome!
Thanks Rob. Just trialling dxo and your tutorials are helpful to get me started (looking at moving from capture one). Plus it's also good to see your editing process in general. Cheers, Paul
Thank you!
Thanks Rob, very helpful tutorial! Greatly appreciate your videos.
Thank you!
Great tutorial . . . . I have learned a lot from your DXO Photolab videos. Keep up them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Hi Rob, I love your videos and this one is no exception. I just wanted to point out that adding Deep Prime XD is possibly best done as the last part of your edit. Often I find that when its turned on that adding other edits can sometimes result in delays in the preview updating, this may just be me (I am running DXO on an M1 Macbook) but thought it might be helpful for anyone else noticing similar buffering when making changes. Thanks again Rob!
"Deep Prime XD is possibly best done as the last part of your edit" ... OR first and roundtrip to DxO PL from DxO PL :-) ... what is better is debatable
Thanks for the tip. I've not had issues with applying DP first on my Windows laptop. However, I do see a slight performance hit, so I should have thought about others with slower machines. PL is not 100% M1 compliant yet, so maybe that's a factor. Either way, doing DP last or as a round trip makes more sense.
Merci!
Thank you!
A little Thanks for all your efforts in helping with PL6 (as the only real regular) & to keep up the great work - DxO should give you an affiliate discount code for your efforts!
Thank you!
Thanks
Thanks Rob, appreciate teaching your workflow using PL6. It ha been helpful to me.
Thank you!
Very good as ever, Rob, and an interesting and rational explanation of your workflow. Well paced and easy to folow along for newbies to PL6 and also those of us who've been working with the program for a while.
With the new versions of Nik Collection 6, I wonder if this might be a good time to look at some of the creative possibilities for working with PL6 and elements of the Nik suite (e.g. Viveza, Colour Efex and Silver Efex)?
Thanks. I’m working with Nik now and will do some tutorials when I get a better feel for it.
@@RobTrek That's great to hear. The Nik Collection guys have a good overview of the new stuff at ua-cam.com/video/-dZ2zDYggOE/v-deo.html (be aware that they are French and have strong accents, but worth persevering with). It looks as though DXO are bringing the local adjustments more closely into alignment between the two products as well as harmonising the interfaces for the different elements in the collection as well.
Hi Rob, your tutorial is great and I'll get the software soon. However I also watched your Birds in Flight tutorials and currently that is my main interest. Did you use Photolab 6 there, or something else? I was fascinated how you extracted such detail from a relatively small bird image ( a bit like my early images).your tutorial show lots of selections being done and the detail discovered was phenomenal/awesome - just what I need ! Do you have a bird editing tutorial from which I can learn the techniques ? Worth a lot of coffees !!
Thanks. I have a basic demo here ua-cam.com/video/3Rb1ffvUUI0/v-deo.html
thank you, Sir!
if possible, could you please explain the new soft proof option?
Basically, it displays the image in the color space for the final destination of the image. So if you are editing to post on the internet, you want to set the soft proof to sRGB. If you're going to display on an HDR TV, you would set it to Rec 2020 or DCI P3. If you are going to print, you would set it to a specific ICC profile for the printer/paper combination. You would then use the gamut warning indicators to see if you're creating colors that can't be displayed or reproduced on the destination. I did a whole video on DxO color here: ua-cam.com/video/iZ_G-H0lyVs/v-deo.html
Merci Rob pour ce tuto, j'ai Photolab 5 et les reglages devraient êtres les mêmes
Your welcome. The only difference is the DxO Wide Gamut in not available in Photolab 5.
Photolab 6 ajoute aussi les corrections géométriques, très utiles en photo d’architecture.
Thank you, such a wonderful playlist. I have learnt a lot. I was just wondering wether you were using dxo clearview plus in other kind of images, the ones without haze and fog ! Is it an interesting tool or the corrections are too artificials ? How can it be combined with other individual tools such as contrast or color adjustments ? Thank you so much.
It's very good for bringing out details in clouds. Using it do reduce haze and fog works well, but I prefer a more natural look for depth. I also use it sometimes to give any image a little more "pop".
Do you apply it before individual adjusments ? Thanks ! @@RobTrek
It depends. I may do it as a local adjustment during the process. However, I usually do the clearview last if applying globally.
@@RobTrekVery interesting, and also quite intriguing...
Hello Rob, in your opinion , Dxo Photolab is the best option to OM Workspace? Thanks
It's my preferred photo editor. There are some gaps in features vs. other editors. But most of these can be supplemented with free software to a degree. Things like HDR, Panorama, and focus stacking. The key advantage to Photolab in my opinion is the final output of an edited image. I think it's the best, including the noise reduction in Photolab ELITE.
if I buy photolab7 and Nik Collection 6, is everything already integrated into their software once I download both programs ?
I works like a plug-in. You export the raw file as a tif directly into the nik module of choice.
Do images need to be optically corrected and if so does that mean that our cameras & lens are incapable of producing acceptable images? Also, is it possible to change the various settings of the DXO optical correction preset? Thanks, Rob!
The short answer is yes. Optical correction fixes distortion, chromatic aberrations, and other defects in lens design. The degree of correction will depend on the lens. Distortion, in particular, can be very obvious and ruin a photo. It's more prominent in wide angle lenses and zooms. In the video, I used an optical correction preset which adjusts several settings at once. You can manually change these individual settings in the side panel tools. Look for Vignetting, Lens Sharpness, Chromatic Aberrations, and Distortions.
You didn't mentionned either the dxo smart lighting ? Is it a useful tool or too "artificial" and better adjust cursors individually ? Thanks a lot and congratulations for such a good job. Ready for a coffee :)
It's best to do both. Apply a "low" smart lighting and then adjust tones.
Because it seems you havn't noticed this tool among yourr favorites. Same thing for clearview.
@@RobTrek
I will do a video on these settings in a more advanced editing tutorial. Stay tuned!
@@RobTrek Great :).
OK I’ll try to be civil. But here’s my take on DXO PhotoLab6. I’m an avocational photographer, more than a hobbyist, less than life’s work “artist”. Something I totally enjoy doing.
So I have several editors, my main one has been Luminar Neo.
So, I see the tutorials and the results many get on PL6 and try it all the time with frustration. I guess I’m not the sharpest crayon in the box, but I find PL6 loaded with great gadgets that I just can’t consistently find or make work for me. IMHO the layout is a mess and seems inconsistent from use to use. I end giving up in frustration and going back to my tried and true Neo, where the workflow is consistent and so easy to use, especially from one time to another. Maybe not as many bells and whistles and fine results ( for some ) as PL6 but the gadgets I need are right there, readily accessible and get my pictures in the ballpark.
Trying to luv PhotoLab6 but find she’s a harsh mistress!
I totally understand where you are coming from. The workflow between Neo and PL6 is totally different. I was given a copy of Neo months ago and I still struggle with it. If I don't try too hard, I can easily navigate Neo and get great results very quickly. Where I get lost is when I want to use it like I have every other photo editor. Neo seems like it's not trying to be a competitor with other editors, but rather takes on a whole new approach to photo editing. I applaud them for it and eventually I'll be able to wrap my brain around it. But for now, I'm in the same place you are as with PL6.
@@RobTrekthanx for your response. I wasn’t trying to make a case for Neo, but what I really want is to get PL6 to work for me on an intuitive level. I always feel like a beginner typist using the hunt and peck approach. This tutorial is nice on using features, but what I think is needed is to go back one step and present a comprehensive tutorial on just negotiating the menus and where to find features on a day to day level.
...where did the DxO (6) tutorial go - all shown above (June 27, 2023) is a short propaganda video and nothing else follows. But title says "DxO Photolab 6 Photo Editing Workflow Tutorial for Beginners ep.451"
....bizarre...so I went and watched a "pureRAW 3" video instead and after that, I saw this video in the column to the right and the....I could watch it...! - ...never experienced anything like that type of "glitch"...
Anyway, very good and interesting video - it's always fascinating to see how others are working their images....glad I watched it...
Not sure what is going on, but here are two links.
This one directly goes to the video: ua-cam.com/video/0NBAceIvwFA/v-deo.html
Here is my entire playlist for DxO stuff: ua-cam.com/play/PLyBjgg0NvOrPObBf4ku-bfilBoFKYjeuL.html
@@RobTrek Thanks for list - will have to check into that...
The "glitch" was very bizarre and I have never experienced anything like that before...
I have been a DxO user since version 6...but at that time, DxO Optics Pro had some "catastrophic" problems, that they were way too slow in acknowledging, let alone doing anything about...that took several "upgrades"....so I didn't upgrade until version 9, which did include very good noise reduction...and that has gotten better since, of course...
