Glad it was helpful!

Excellent tutorial. I learned a lot about the tool. Thanks

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Didn't know you were using photolab 7 as well!

In spot weighted you don’t have to box faces. You can make a small box in the brightest area of interest and another in the the darkest and the algorithm will nicely balance the tonal range.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Thanks for the tip. DXO does not mention that in its docs. It says it considers the face to make the adjustment. How did you find out about it?

[@qwe1231]

I love the DXO content. I already have the Nik plugins and am thinking about migrating maybe to Photolab and stopping my Lightroom subscription.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Thanks for sharing! Both are great choices with their own advantages.

Utilizzo spesso questa funzione ottima anche in DXO lab 6

[@takebetterphotos8132]

È lo stesso nel Photolab 7

Spot Weighted also doesn't (but needs to) recognise animal and bird faces.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Yes another thing DXO should fix. Will need better AI to do correctly.

Smart lighting is awful compared to capture one. photolab is a really good software, but smart lighting and selective tones are far behind C1 in most cases...

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Capture One's tone adjustments are the best. In my mind, Smart lighting is mostly an automated editing tool which is helpful for batch processing. I mostly compare it to ON1's brilliance AI tool
