Love it, have been using Adobe Camera Raw of late and diving into Photoshop, the new Photolab 8 and the Nix update to 7 I find so much easier to use and it is quick!

How can you restore tge factory default settings to the sliders? Seens it remembers the last used settings. Very annoying! Is there batch processing in Photolab 8? Excellent video though! Learned a lot.

Hmmm...I found something strange in your version and mine of PL7. I have film pack as well. BUT - @14:27 I noticed top right corner where it says "RAW White Balance". I looked at mine and side by side of app and video - mine says White Balance...NOT RAW White Balance. Why is that like that...how did you change the name? I looked everywhere for changing or modifying something like that...cant find it or even see an option. <--- very very confused about that.

Users from China，XD2相对XD的提升是巨大的，中国话讲脱胎换骨也不为之过，prime这个技术应该是来源于google的图像专利，不知道是不是DXO够买了该专利，我印象中看过0几年google录制的关于该图形专利的视频，老的XD可以说是相当垃圾，对比LR的ai降噪可以说是完败，XD2提升太巨大了，效果太犀利了！

Photolab 8 looks great. But such a disappointment that they still don’t allow previewing of the contents of sub-folders. It’s a baffling oversight for such a well thought-out application.
@dxflow3271 Ай бұрын
I only wonder if they did that would it impact performance? As soon as I click on my main photos folder the software is trying to load 10s of thousands of image thumbnails. Not sure. But maybe a preference toggle for those like you who use that approach
@PoetryFilms Ай бұрын
Yes that would be one way to do it. Or to load a number of previews and update as the user scrolls. Other apps manage it, with and without Library files. It’s a real pity as the absence of this feature really limits the usefulness of the app. Frankly it’s a pain to use it with any kind of large library, the reason I’ve tried multiple versions but always decided against it in the end.

This is particularly GREAT advice, since I just got word from Photolab (ticket #501046) that “they don’t have any information regarding teathering and DxO Photolab 8” 😏 I’ll send a link to this video! Now it’s only a question about Sony’s Control Monitor app (which replaced Imaging Edge) supports Live View…

Thanks for a very informative series on PL8 so far. XD2 is incomparably better than XD. I gave up on XD early as it tended to look nasty, especially for people photos. Deep Prime is still amazing, and it's great now to have a choice of two excellent NR functions.

I like DXO (using PL7 a lot) and have a trial version of PL8. I see no reason to update at this time with my current PC. ACDSee 2025 does a comparable noise reduction at speeds 5-10 times faster than PL8 ony older PC. Comparing an image side by side I see little difference.
@dxflow3271 Ай бұрын
That is interesting to me. I downloaded ACDSee 2025 as a trial but never spent much time with it. I will have a look when I get a chance. I am not surprised that it is faster on an older machine, but I will be very curious about quality. But as I have often said, noise reduction is not the reason I use Photolab, it is just a wonderful bonus for me.
@avallejo 2 ай бұрын
I use Fujifilm. And Photolab 6. Trying the new noise reduction, 6 vs 8. Exported 10 images. Compared very carefully. Absolutely no difference. Rechecked to see if they were really from the two different versions… yep. No difference…
@dxflow3271 Ай бұрын
To be expected from my understanding. I believe because of the way DxO does both demosiacing and denoising at the same time, it is taking them extra time to sort it out for the Fuji sensors. I don't have a Fuji so I am not way up on this, but I think that is true.
@veselahladno8917 Ай бұрын

When are the new demosaic and noise reduction tools coming to DxO Pure RAW? Presumably, DxO Pure RAW 5? I find Photolab far too cluncky yo use as an everyday editor ... dream come true when they added the best bits to a simple, stand-alone app in Pure RAW.

Another consideration - if you are shooting a LOT of teathered shots - you are writing to the laptop’s SSD (rather than downloading to an external SSD or HDR) and - deleting - from a laptop’s SSD requires that you run tools to recover that drive space (ineffectively so Apple can sell more hardware 🤬) so there is a trade-off down the line in being able to see your work immediately on a nice monitor… (But, at least, it’s not an iPhone where can never “get back” used SSD space… unless you REFORMAT the phone!!!)
@dxflow3271 Ай бұрын
That is no good. I haven't had that issue with external SSD hard drives, but it sounds like a pain.
@TheGeoDaddy Ай бұрын
The physics of why SSDs are faster is that it does not PHYSICALLY delete any files… so there is no Search/Seek disk rotation… it’s just a relative address index to retrieve data… but - more you delete - the more space you lose and the more complicated the indexing… that’s why you reformat camera SSDs (And that’s why Apple wants you to use up the SSDs on iPhones, IPads and Macs - as they rub their grubby greedy hands - advising you to GET A NEW AND BIGGER MACHINE!!!

I can already see that Sony’s Imaging Edge software comes into play… An issue for Alpha One users stuck on the camera’s 1.32 version… as subsequent firmware updates this year have either broken the Wi-Fi connection or BRICKED cameras! And - the latest version of Imaging Edge is not executable w/o the camera being at 2.02 - which Sony is still not acknowledging as a PROBLEM 🤬

Just sent an inquiry to Photolab about teathering with my Sony A1 I’m looking to use Version 8 with - either - my MacBook M1 Pro or my Asus OLED (as I’m not sure which will give me the best color, performance… and mobility) FYI - was a Nikon shooter going back to the 80s - but now I shoot 90% video and their Z6 / Atomos “Filmmaker’s Kit” was a bust as they never got Apple to support their ProRes in FCPX… so had to switch to Sony $$$ but I still plan to shoot stills on the A1 and A9iii for high sync’d flash)

Hello, and thank you again for this wonderful video showing how awesome Photolab is, but I have one tiny question. When using the compare tool and you click on the "Compare tool" do you need to hold on the mouse to keep seen the effect or just one click to show the effect and click again to show again the comparison because in my case I click on the compare tool but it only shows the comparison for one microsecond and I need to click and hold the click to keep sewn the comparison of the before and after, thank you ❤❤

I wonder why DXO seem to adopt UI elements which appear to use the philosophy of "lets see how LR, C1 etc handle compare, now lets do it differently and make it as clunky as possible". It's almost painful to watch you demo what should be a very simple process.

I just downloaded Photolab 7, and the vignette tool was my biggest hang up for maybe not purchasing (I use very slight vignettes a lot), and I have no use for Filmpack, so I didn't want to spend the extra money. I wish the vignette tool were included for times when I have to do a lot of speed editing, but the methods in this video will actually work better than the vignette tool when doing portraits, which is enough to get me away from LR. I REALLY hope software companies are paying attention to all the complaints about the giant. Right NOW is a great time to try to scoop up a lot of unhappy LR customers. I shoot 40,000 pictures a year, and I have been really wanting to find an alternative to LR and Capture One, and as far as I can see, I will be purchasing PL7 at the end of my trail.
