PhotoLab versions 5 and 6 just proposed updates to versions 5.13.1.95 and 6.8.1.54 respectively. Release notes have not been updated on the support page yet. No update on DxO hub yet…but the changes in both versions seem minor according to this:
Thanks. I no longer have PL5 installed, but I will update PL 6 tonight. I don’t expect anything really significant, but who knows, maybe they finally addressed one of the many features that were not quite finished when implemented.
“Minor bug fixes and improvements”. It would be good if there was more information about this. Maybe one of the things that have been annoying me for years has been fixed? Probably not.
When first rendering an image in Customizer, there is no longer a text label to indicate this is happening. I forget what it used to say, but there was a small label on the top right of the image.
A bug I encountered often has been fixed — when exporting to an application, and you elect to retain all metadata, PL now reads in that meta data straight away. It used to be, for example, that I would mark a photo with the colour label “green” and then export to application. The resulting file would have the green label, but you had to ask PL to read from the file for it to reflect this in the library view. Now you don’t, it’ll show up with the green label immediately. This was incredibly annoying when my filter was set to only show photos with the green label!
Photolab 5 is still updated ?
This is the first time I see a company which upgrade old versions.
This sounds really strange for me, but it is generous for v5 owners.
Yes PL5 is always updated, I think there has been a drop in users to switch to PL6 and in order not to lose these users DxO hopes to keep them and see them switch to the next versions.
