Filmpack to Photo lab workflow

[John-M (Melbourne, Australia - Win11)]

Thanks for the detailed explanations, Damian - - I have never used FP in it’s standalone mode - I naively assumed that, when embedded within PL, it produced the same results as in standalone state.

Just a couple of points that may help;

@Damian

The only thing I had to do was turn off Noise Reduction and Smart Lighting in Photolab because with those on it completely skews the results and DXO imports the raw’s with those on by default

Are you aware that you can modify the corrections that PL uses, by default, for each new image? - in your case, you could turn off NR and SmartLighting.

@Damian

The 2 most easy solutions would be:

1. An export option for Photolab to Filmpack5
   or
2. Allow Filmlab5 presets to load and be usable in Photolab which also set the base import settings of Photolab to match what’s happening in Filmpack.

Your option #1 is already possible … the Windows target is “C:\Program Files\DxO Labs\DxO FilmPack 5\dfpv5.exe”
