Hello,
I’ve installed DxO PhotoLab 6 Elite and then I installed DxO ViewPoint 4.x. Every applications works fine for itself. Nevertheless I miss the DxO ViewPoint panel in DxO PhotoLab.
Any hints how to solve this strange behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
The splash screen shows, that DxO ViewPoint is installed. But the panel with the name “DxO ViewPoint” is missing.
Perhaps you have to add that panel manually. Have you checked to see if the ViewPoint panel is available in the drop down menus in the left and right hand tool columns?
Switch your workspace to “Standard” and back to “Advanced”.
This should bring up the VP panel.
Note: Custom workspaces are not automatically updated.
Sorry, now I’m totally lost. If I switch between “Standard” and “Advanced” I see the following panels:
In which tab (see below) may I find this panel?
In the toolbar I see the “miniatur effect” button:
Do I miss something?
Click the Fx button to show the FilmPack
ViewPoint 4 shows as “DXO VIEWPOINT” tool panel in the first screenshot of your latest post.
“ReShape” is a new feature introduced in VP4.
To see VP features, click on the semitransparent cube button ← second screenshot.
The button you highlighted in the third screenshot activates the “Miniatureffekt” tool.
Note: Feature highlighting can be switched off/on through DPL’s help menu.
If I select the “semitransparent cube button” I see these panels:
No explicit mention of “DxO ViewPoint”. I miss at least the “miniature effect”. I find the “miniature effect” in a totally other tab (fx (effects)):
Maybe I have wrong expectations. In the user manual I see an explicit panel “DxO ViewPoint”. On the other site, I see all the features of “DxO ViewPoint” in different panels without an explicit “DxO ViewPoint” panel. Is this a “new” behaviour? If yes, I’m fine with it.
Below you see a screenshot of the current DxO ViewPoint manual:
You seem to have found the items you were looking for in the first place.
For more info about PhotoLab, the user guide has a few things to show, e.g. about the user interface.
Tool panels and tools of the DPL6 Advanced workspace present themselves in the RH sidebar of the customize tab.
Tool panels (like the one highlighted with the yellow arrow) group related tools.
The filter buttons (red arrow) show corresponding tools and hide tool panel headers and other tools.
The stars mark “favorite” tools, to only see these, click on the star button above the filter button row.
To only see active tools, click on the switch button right off of the star button.
Note that the sequence of tools in filtered views cannot be customized.

As you noticed, there is no explicit “menu” for DxO Viewpoint.
The perspective corrections, now integrated in PL 6 Elite, had been part of viewpoint before.
Together with Volume Deformation and ReShape they are listed under the tab “Geometry”,
while the Miniature Effect is listed under the tab “Watermark & Effects”
Thanks to all of you for your hints, tips, and help. @Wolfgang described it in the right way in his two screenshots.
I have the same issue, PL6 and VP4.
I don’t want to start a new topic on the same discussion.
I think this is what I am supposed to see in the right column, with other tools.
Is that correct?
If so, how can I add this to my PhotoLab screen:
I would like all the controls shown here, to appear, just like this, in PhotoLab.
From this web page:
The different versions of ViewPoint - TuTo DxO
They are in the Geometry palette and the DxO Viewpoint palette. If you want them all in the same palette with nothing else then you could create your own custom palette and call it something like “My Viewpoint Tools” or any other name that is meaningful to you. Then you need to drag those tools from their standard palettes into you new custom palette and you are done.

I have the same problem as the person who started this thread. You are correct, they should be there. This is from DxO:
Let me start with the easy question - the Viewpoint palette. It is missing.
I closed PhotoLab, and re-opened it. My palettes are:
How do I add DXO VIEWPOINT ?
If you press ctrl-v
Do the viewpoint palette appear?
WHEN you have
in Windows it looks like this
and don’t forget reading … / and … / and experiment yourself.
No, nothing happens.
I can start the application for Viewpoint 4, and it is in my dock, but I can’t see it yet as a palette from within PhotoLab.
I am using my customized workspace, and until now, have been able to add anything I needed to it.
Oops, the answer to your question is “yes”:
