Mobile version

Photoshop and Lightroom have mobile versions. Even Affinity Photo.
I would like to suggest a mobile Photolab version as I now do a lot of editing on my iPad Pro, I use my MacBook less and less now .
Sorry if this has been suggested before or if I’ve posted in the wrong forum

You have posted in the proper location. This subject has been discussed before. DxO has not publicly commented on whether a mobile version is part of their long term strategy.

Android and ios version! Not just iPad pro ios. Android tablets can do far more than apple, because of the hardware.

A mobile version would be so great for travel photography :star_struck:

I guess we all wish for DxO to release a mobile version of PL.
Hasselblad did release an update to Phocus Mobile the other day with an AI driven noise reduction feature.

Let’s hope DxO surprises us some day. :slight_smile:

A mobile version of PhotoLab is a terrible idea. Why?

PhotoLab will not edit recent (last five years) mobile DNG on either iOS or Android. Until PhotoLab edits mobile DNG, a mobile version of PhotoLab is completely pointless.

Frustrating as heck.

In the meantime, on iOS Darkroom gives a PhotoLab type experience (much more limited but similar in that it’s very sensible sliders in a vertical row with some good colour treatments available).

RAW Power provides an Aperture like experience (ex-Aperture developer created the program) but with far too many sliders and alternative ways to do things. I get great results with RAW Power but it takes way too long to get there. Not efficient like PhotoLab or Darkroom.

I’ve struggled with mediocre results on mobile DNG from Pixelmator Pro, Affinity Photo (albeit desktop versions). Adobe Lightroom iOS version is apparently good but for privacy reasons and anti-subscription bias, I wouldn’t recommend Adobe anything to anyone. Haven’t got a recent version of CaptureOne, neither on mobile nor on desktop.

Based on the list above, a mobile version of PhotoLab doesn’t seem all that important. Editing mobile DNG in an iOS PhotoLab-lite along with the ability to migrate partial edits to desktop PhotoLab would catch my attention.


CaptureOne Mobile is $70/year (separately). And the reviews are filled with complaints about its limits (no erasure, no selected edits, no colour temp, no spot edits, no noise reduction). What a mess.

If PhotoLab Mobile were anything like this, thanks I’d rather just do my immediate edits in iOS in Apple Photos or Darkroom.
