In this video I outline some of the advantages and potential disadvantages of using DxO PhotoLab 8 instead of Adobe Lightroom. Advantages for using DxO PhotoLab include its class-leading Denoising Technologies (that make images captured with ISO 12800 look like they were captured with ISO 100) and their outstanding 'Lens Softness Compensations' that make budget lenses appear just as sharp as very expensive lenses. Although the DxO PhotoLab editing workflows are very different to the workflows you are used to in Lightroom, this tutorial will provide you with all of the editing tips required to make the learning curve less steep and pain-free. 00:00 Introduction 03:29 Making the Move 05:42 Price Comparisons 07:53 Why Bundle? 11:39 Edit without Importing 13:04 Advantages and Disadvantages 18:58 Is the change worth the Effort? 26:44 PhotoLab Preferences 29:00 PhotoLibrary 30:52 Keyboard Shortcuts 33:20 Custom Workspace 40:46 Profiles and Whites 42:51 Clarity, Dehaze, Saturation & Vibrancy 45:55 Tonal Adjustments/Tone Curve 49: 42 Sharpen and Sharpness 55:30 Retouch/Remove 56:19 Vignette 57:55 Local Adjustments Mark Galer is a Sony Alpha Ambassador for Australia.
