Same here. Says version 7.1.0 is up to date!
Good for you and DXO, they have at least one satisfied user of Local Adjustments in version 7 that believes he lives in the best of RAW-converter worlds!
⦠so that is why they havenāt had the focus on fixing bugs and design flaws?
I do presume a new update should come this month. It was stated in another topic, where support of the Lumix G9II was anounced to be in december. Iām waiting for it.
Add me to the list.
There are lots of issues with PhotoLab, but it still meets my needs better than any other software available. I have been a user since 2017 and I am very familiar with all its features. I know all its pros and cons, but understand how to get the best from it to meet my requirements.
For the record there are plenty of others like me who enjoy using PhotoLab and who are also aware of its limitations. We just donāt waste our time complaining as vociferously or as often as some posters.

ā¦and as always, we want more and better and cheaperā¦but should have realised by now that getting it all is impossible.
And some only donāt like to be fooled !
@mwsilvers @platypus : what do you think of these extracts from the dxo website ?
(For my part, I think users are kind, because in french law this can coast a lot ! - the first image is the more dangerous for DxO.)
PS : the price in the first image is not the same now, but the lie is still the same.
Indeed I was one of those others before PL7. I hoped for some improvements to the tools I was using but by and large very much enjoyed my editing experience. I reckon though that Iāve wasted far more time grappling with the new local adjustments UI than complaining on here.
I canāt find any other editor that I would wish to swap to, though I may go back to PL6 (for a while) and see if itās as good as I remember. That said, paying for PL7 was an onwards move by me, supporting the company thatās helped me create my images for many years. Trust goes both ways though.
Luminosity mask is not part of PhotoLab, therefore the site liesā¦but unless someone takes legal action, marketing will continue to state the impossible.
Currently, the page in German does not include LuMask, but it mixes objects in German and French. Either DxO is redoing the page or has been hackedā¦or is simply overwhelmed by the load of work and support calls.
I think nobody, even those
wants to bring this company down.
But this is unacceptable.
English and french pages do.
Did you clic ācompare editionsā at the bottom of the essential edition page ?
@JoPoV , maybe itās a good idea for you to double-check the page in German to make sure that nothing was missed.
@platypus
here it is, and you should have luminosity mask in german version too :
@platypus
I didnāt check if other wrong things are there.
I was looking for luminosity mask which was a requested feature for photolab (not filmpack) when i checked dxo website to know what was new.
⦠and the misleading information is still online (checked the english version)
which should be on PL not just FP, has itās mentioned above⦠itās listed in PL7 Essential features so should also include Elite. Not add-on coming to PL8
Whatās in essential is in Elite. It should be in both.
This is indeed exactly what the add says (both versions should include it) : āEssential include thisā (left part) and āelite also include thatā (right part).
I didnāt know luminosity mask was said to be included; this is flat-out misleading.
DxO should really just let go and add it (enable it) for users without FP7 in their next PL7 update.
But thatās the main reason that I didnā update (as my personal protest) both updates.
