Just the sort of Nerd that makes the world go around. We need more people like you.

I wish you could make presets on the local adjustment brush 😢

Really great thanks! Would you recommend buying the film pack package? I'm not really into old film simulations, while I love some classic ones. But the package seems to add some interesting options on Photolab (fine contrast, split toning, vignette effect, etc). Do you think it's worth it?

I am happy with NIK 6 the upgrading too expensive

This is still so slow and clunky. With Lightroom, hit “c” for crop, and “x” to flip the crop orientation. 😕

Question.. How does the noise reduction in DXO Photolab 7 Elite stand up to Topaz's Noise AI?

I tried to upgrade to Nik Collection 7 from Nik Collection 5 and was told that I have to pay full price. When I reached out to the DxO representative, I was told that they could be charging me "$79 for upgrade from v5 to v6 and $89 from v6 to v7, so, instead of charging you individually to upgrade we charge the $159 new price" . Isn't that like saying if I upgrade from iPhone 13 to iPhone 15, Apple should charge me for Apple 14 as well. Too frequent upgrades with minor changes and I have to pay full price for each upgrade. No, Thank you.

Great

I have to agree, the more I use Nik 7 the more I like it. However, with the move of Viveza tools into Colorefex I think that the writing is on the wall for Viveza as a separate tool, I just never use it now. Between PL and ColorEfex I can now do everything that I used to use Viveza for.

Great video! I have been doing something similar but this adds a few more steps toward a better result. Thanks. I, too, miss the one button method in LR, along with a bunch of other features but will never go back.

It is good to reuse existing camera profiles from Adobe, but among your images i see colorchecker passport, which allows to create individual color profiles for your specific camera and lens combo. DxO PhotoLab can create camera profile using Datacolor Checker color palette. You just need to make a photo of this palette and DxO PL will use it to create profile. Looking on your pictures I was thinking that there is possibly to X-Right Colorchecker in the same was as it is possible with Datacolor, but not, you were not offered such :-). Of course it is possible to create camera profile using separate software from X-Right and use it with DxO PL.

Thank you for your videos. Have converted pretty much to DXO photolab for all my raw processing and just upgraded my nik from 6 to 7. Like the control point changes and the ease now to move to different apps in nik

A luminosity mask will certainly work, but it doesn't give you the flexibility that a control point offers. Personally, I liked the way you "faded" out the color as the pools of light receded. Thanks for the tip about hiding those handles. I, too, always have problems grabbing ahold of them.

excellent ! thank you to your subscriber for helping us all. I enjoy these videos

New to me.

Purchase Nik 6 less than 60 days ago and just assumed they would provide updates to Nik 7 , boy was I wrong . Reached out to DXO and was told I had to pay for the update , ZERO consideration was given at all . As a long time user of their products this will be the end of the road for me . IMHO this is simply a money grab by DXO , so much for customer retention

I do agree with you that Nik Collection is so fun to use, and you could really unleash your creativity. I still have not bought it yet, but i do have the free trial install to try it, but i do own Nik Collection 6. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video 📹 😊 ❤️

Thank you for this nice and informative video and DxO do keep up the good work (just finished upgrading my NC6 to NC7.)

well done - I just purchased this collection. Your video helped my learning curve. Thank you

Great, all your photos are very nice. 7 megapixels and good glass is a lot from a good artist for good art photography, so 3 megapixels can be good. I know that hardly anyone uses those photo cameras, but I would like to say that every photo camera is good if you know how to handle it and look for what is important. Thank you.

Robin use the Shift "E" to hide the handles when using a control point. Or the little menu icon next to the local adjustment type picker.

I'm really enjoying using the new Nik tools. You do realize that you can turn off the on-screen controls if you want to? ( the little icon beside the question mark. I prefer them but I know some, like you, don't) Also instead of all those control points did you consider using the new luminosity mask feature, I'm finding it really useful. Finally, have you noticed that you can place "negative" control points by holding down Alt as you position them? It looked like they'd removed that feature but they've just made it an "Alt" operation instead.

Thanks! Great new additions to Nik. We must share the same size of hands/gloves: Tried them all, OnOne, C1, AlienSkin Exposure, Luminar to name a few and don't use them anymore. Staying with the basics Lr, PS and favorite Nik I bought back in 2012 when it was really expensive. After Nik's "dark years" when owned by Google, I'm glad that DxO now takes care of this excellent bundle.

Gives me something to think about. Nice to see a fellow actor/photographer. Not too many of us. Good luck with Tempest.

This was helpful. Now I understand what is in NIK 7.

Only bought NIK 6 3 weeks ago so no update for me

Thank you for this wonderful video, and I really enjoyed it watching it..❤🎉❤

Another update that has minimal upgrades and we have to pay for the upgrade. Version 6 was released not that long ago and to be fair that was a good upgrade but this is nut's! No upgrade for me thanks! I understand that some of the new bits are good but they should have just been given to us as there’s not much that’s new, well certainly not enough to pay out a lump more money.

Luminar neo is worth having just for the power line removal tool. That's all i use it for (as a plug-in)

You shouldn't need to click "crop" at all in a non destructive photo editor... And crop needs a shortcut to engage and disengage crop mode at any point in the editing process... So it goes for every top bar editing mode.

Love the image handling and demosaiking on DxO, but boy is it the opposite of quick to edit... Especially crop.

Thank you for a very helpful video. I just bought PureRAW and am very impressed by what it can do even with very high ISO images. One question: does the software sharpen as well as remove noise. In other words, do you feel the need to sharpen processed images in some way? I’m asking in general and not just high ISO images.

Great video, thanks. Came here to check the rotation and at 7:50 The rotation lag seems insane. I've noticed on my machine, and was looking just to see if there is something wrong with my computer or the software, but here is also taking almost seconds to render a frame change if you want to line something up/play around with the angle its unusable.

How do you detach the histogram to enable you to move it onto the image?

Hello Don, I'm referring to minute 17:40 ruclips.net/video/hbRp6JgPZbk/видео.html There you set the saturation slider in the HSL tool to "0" to see what exactly is selected (sky). There is an easier method: Place the mouse pointer over the blue "cake slice" in the HSL tool and press the left mouse button at the same time as the, I think 'CTRL' key. This should have the same effect. Thank you for sharing your findings with us. Your personable and calm manner make your videos a pleasure to watch. Best wishes from Austria to New Zealand! Manfred

Sorry but is possible add and use personal camera profiles (.dcp files)?

Well done Don, perfect pace for someone new to Photolab 7 and on the learning curve. Not exactly a simple task coming from PS, old habits still lingering but indeed finding the software very capable for my needs. That said for the life of me, after editing and exporting a photo, I cannot figure out how to close the file in the edit window. I can over ride it with a new photo, but curious how to close it (MacBook Pro) without actually shutting down Photolab. I cannot find any info out on the net but perhaps you can help (I did try the close button, bottom right, but it just minimizes the software). Thank you, I truly appreciate your content and its presentation, an invaluable learning tool. Be well Don.

Great software, and I bought it. But it doesn't always boot up.

is it possible to read the Delta E error after colour calibration?

It not be a perfect solution but for a series or burst capture the copy and paste selected corrections (i.e. the spotting) could be applied to the set of images given the dust is sensor based. Is this correct?

Mmmmm I have a new learning curve . Thank you .

Really useful and I've now done the same in Affinity and recorded it as a macro there too. Fortunately, I don't get too many spots but finding them to remove them can be a pain, this makes it much easier.

The curves control in Photolab is one of the crudest curves implementations in modern software. Even the free Faststone Image Viewer has a more sophisticated Curve control. Hopefully V8 will improve on the current situation.

thats a really cool tip, thanks! a general tip after trying this out: If you use presets, make sure your custom preset doesn´t use Retouch or else every correction you made will be deleted :D

Not sure if this is in response to my post on the DxO PhotoLab Users Facebook page but thanks for a great video. It would be great if DxO in one of its forthcoming upgrades did include a generic dust spot remove tool. Almost all other post processing platforms have one.

Hi Don.. love your channel thanks very much, i've been looking at the compare function lately and dont find it very intuitive, I wonder if there are some additional tips you have on usage. e.g. i notice: selecting a virtual copy and comparing to the master places the editing copy on the right hand side, more logical to me that selecting master first to compare copies, selecting some tools like white balance and local adj seem to cancel compare but not others, if some tools are selected before compare like white balance then compare becomes split screen rather than full image, not sue if this behavior is following any rules or you just need to know. Can virtual copies be compared to each other and is there any way/trick to compare different images? thanks again.

Thank you for sharing this useful tip!

Didn't know this! Thanks for sharing this tip and thanks to whoever sent it to you!

Thanks for sharing. Very useful!

Thanks for that been there many times.
