DxO FilmPack 6 ( $54.99/ $109.99)ĭxO FilmPack 6 sees some interesting new features, including a new Time Machine which shows and educates the user on how analogue photographer has evolved through 14 different periods illustrated by iconic imagery of the time. PhotoLab 5 also sees beta support for RAW files from Fujifilm X-Trans sensors from 18 Fujifilm cameras, including the newest X-E4, X-S10, X-T4 and X100V.
They claim that Apple M1 Silicon users will see up to a 4x speed improvement (which will be even faster on the newly announced Macs) and up to 1.5x faster on Windows machines. The DeepPRIME engine that processes the RAW files has also received some love, bringing some nice performance optimisations. They say that the new version optimises the library management tools by reorganising them into an easier workflow. PhotoLab 5 also sees new metadata and keyword management features with support for IPTC and EXIF data as well as third party application synchronisation. Control Points and Control Lines have also received new sensitivity settings, letting photographers make adjustments based on luminance and other features of the targeted areas.
Control Lines extend the existing Control Points functionality, allowing users to carry out touch-ups on larger areas with easy to use selections.
The big feature with DxO PhotoLab 5 is the new “U Point technology” which provides Control Lines with improved sensitivity settings.
