When used within PhotoLab it’s useful to have, but its effects are overshadowed by those in the Nik Collection (below), now also owned by DxO.

It comes in two editions, Essential and Elite, and it’s worth paying the extra for the Elite edition to get RAW support (not needed within PhotoLab), Frames, Textures, Light Leaks and other advantages. It really comes into its own, however, when integrated with PhotoLab, where it provides perspective correction controls you might have expected to be standard in PhotoLab (they are not) but also more advanced options like volumetric distortion correction and tilt-shift effects.ĭxO FilmPack 5 DxO FilmPack 4 can recreate ‘distressed’ film effects like dust, scratches, textures and light leaks.įilmPack 5 is an analog film effects tool which, like ViewPoint 3, can be used as a standalone program but also integrates with PhotoLab. On its now, it’s effective enough but requires access to image files straight from the camera. This is a standalone perspective correction program that also integrates with DxO PhotoLab, above. This is support is in a beta phase, but works fine, albeit not will all features. NOTE: DxO’s RAW processing engine is now compatible with Fujifilm X-Trans RAW files. It also comes with ClearView Plus, more advanced color controls, workspace management and preset editing. Elite: This is the more expensive option, but arguably worth it for DxO’s DeepPRIME noise reduction alone.You will save money with the Essential edition but you may wish you had paid extra for the Elite version. Essential: This is cheaper to buy but you miss out on certain key features, like ClearView haze reduction and DxO’s stunning DeepPRIME noise reduction.It combines probably the best RAW processing of any software with highly effective automatic lens corrections, uncannily effective high-ISO noise reduction and powerful local and global adjustments, all fully non-destructive and with basic image browsing thrown in.

This is DxO’s flagship image-editing program.
