The best is certainly DeepPrime XD2s…

The best is certainly DeepPrime XD2s and lens correction, and recently AI masking in local adjustments is a big step forward, although improvements are welcome (the AI mask is not always that precise).

Improvements are still needed for the selective tonal adjustments (highlights, midtones, shadows, blacks) which are not selective at all.

Another improvement (something which is really irritating me) is the comparison tool: why is zooming in decoupled when comparing two pictures (comparing is most of the time sone for almost identical images)?

Best solutions for RAW file processing and prrspective control

I use DXO software since more than 10 years for the processing of my RAW files and View Point especially for perspective corrections.
Based on this experiance I am lookoing always first if DXO does support a camera and lens combination before I buy a lens or camera.

Very versatile tool

Very versatile tool, regularly updated and improved. Top level for monochrome. Just a suggestion: provide a tool to verify if the performances of the hardware are compatible with the last version of the software before buying.

Expensive upgrades required

Software complicated so for non regular users takes time to get used to. Most disappointing is that they seem to sell lifetime licenses while in practice you have to buy expensive upgrades periodically. Non premium customer support seems produced by some AI …
Adding based on company feedback: for me calling this lifetime license is clearly misleading. In my case I just changed the camera but do not need any of the for me less useful new software features. Still the only option dxo provides is to buy the full new license and importantly the full (!) new price with no consideration of being an existing customer - how can one call this a lifetime license?

Reply from DxO

Hello Thomas,

We’re sorry to hear your disappointment and thank you for sharing your feedback.

Our lifetime licenses mean you can use the version you purchase indefinitely, without a subscription. However, support for new cameras — such as your Nikon Z6iii — requires newer versions, as technical developments evolve quickly. DxO PhotoLab 1, which you purchased back in 2017, is now 8 years old and predates your camera by several years.

We understand that upgrades involve a cost, but we do our best to keep it reasonable — often less than the price of a good photo accessory — to continue offering cutting-edge features and compatibility.

As for our support replies, we regret if they felt impersonal. Your feedback is noted, and we’ll work on making our communication more helpful.

We hope to regain your trust.

Awesome CS team, good product

I have been using DxO's PureRAW since April 27 this year, and, taking advantage of this year's Black Friday deals, FilmPack and ViewPoint. Although I have a Sony and Fujifilm mirrorless systems, PureRAW was (back then) only supporting my Sony raw images. I really like the fact that I could update PureRAW to support Fujifilm raws with no extra cost. Note that I use all these as standalones, which is less ideal than having PhotoLab which could better integrate the add-ons I bought. I am not ready to migrate my main postprocessing to DxO. All together is still an expensive move. I communicated my needs (for future upgrades) to DxO's customer support 2 times (November 27 and December 4), all were responded promptly (kudos 5 stars for their attention) as a pure standalone user of their 3 add-ons. If I could be granted 2 wishes, I would easily gave a perfect 5-stars for the company. 1. Is the ability to export FilmPack edits as an SRGB jpg file while also 2. Being able to resize at the pixel dimensions and its aspect ratio (having a freely typed-in ratio like 2-by-1, etc.).

Being a long-time user of the DXO…

Being a long-time user of the DXO PhotoLab and Nik .. I have been extremely happy with all aspects of the product and service offered. I am ready to offer four stars as my rating as to the many plus factors that I love! Best of Wishes!
But since the purchase of Version 9, I have encountered many problems.., both on my desktop and my Yoga i7 laptop. Some of which were discussed with the support staff.., but still intermittent issues. One reason attributed is that my graphic card on my Desktop computer is dated... this I do accept. I do have issues on running the Nik collection 8 too... But yet,
