They used to be very good enabling customers to disable installs on line from there accounts. The way they treat customers now should be a warning to DxO and others, they used to have a very good forum but didn’t just ignore it just closed it totally. I still have one life time program but wouldn’t use then again.
It might be suitable to move the backup software discussions to another forum section.

I will look in to this. It´s 67 Euro now.
Question:
Does Macrium offer the same kind of possibility to just dubbel click the backup file and give access in a file manager interface just to copy a single or a bunch of files you just want to manually copy to replace a file that needs to get restored without any type of extra muddle?
Yes. Open Macrium Software- “mount Image” and you have you drive in file explorer.
Great, thanks for the info
I guess the Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions didn’t work too well, as I’m still getting what almost amounts to a plea to buy on a regular basis. “Buy DxO PhotoLab, get a free in-depth tutorial by Fstoppers, win a new pro camera!”. If this continues I’ll be unsubscribing.
Not PL7 I’m afraid, and I shall reserve judgement on maintaining the software come PL8. If the company has added a couple of my wish-list items I’ll probably be tempted, opening DNG files from non-supported cameras being one (e.g. mobile phone and GoPro). I don’t think there is one item on my list that has not been mentioned on this forum.

Elite version has much better removing of noise. That’s why it’s more expensive.
Otherwise I’m disappointed about Photolab. DxO advertising says, that users won’t have any problems with support of cameras. During trial version I have found, that it doesn’t support two of my three cameras (Panasonic FZ-50, Panasonic FZ-100). The third camera Nikon P950 has limited support. Lens corrections work just on wide angle. Zooming up to 2000 mm photo is not sharp and has color aberrations.
Beside that, few days before end of test period they raised the price of Photolab with Viewpoint from 229 to 299€.
My opinion is, that DxO Photolab is not worth that price.
why do you expect P&S @ 2000mm eqFOV to be “sharp” ?
357mm @ f6.5 there 1/2.3 sensor is like what ?
F36 eq f-stop @ eq 2000mm for FF sensor ?
I have used PhotoLab Elite since version 1, along with FilmPack and ViewPoint. As a professional photo printer, I find it a lot easier to use than any other RAW developer and worth every cent in the time and effort it saves me every day.
In addition, shooting as I do at ISOs above 10,000, I find the noise reduction far superior to anything else.

well said, I concur with the most excellent dust removal capabilities in DxO PL !
It’s the best thing there is at what it does, at least for what I need it to do. It’s the first step for every photo I take, and most of the time the last.
I don’t mind the pricing. I’ve been able to get it on sale at a palatable price. And it isn’t a subscription, so if I’m off a month or two because I’ve spent my budgeted money elsewhere for reason of necessity or desire, I’m still able to use it fully in the short periods in-between.
I have a question to ask:
I have version 6 of Photolab on my main Mac computer.
I recently bought an Apple laptop with M2 chip which is much faster.
My understanding is that I am entitled to use the software (version 6 elite) that paid for on 2 computers.
I attempted to download version 6 and enter the 16 character code but run into problem.
There are not 6 boxes to fill.
Any suggestions ?
You need to contact support at support,dxo,com and explain your situation to them. Then ask for a fresh copy of PL 6(the latest build) and a new activation code for it.
I would guess that you simply missed that the Activation code is made up of five groups of four characters each… The last four characters often ends up on new line, if the browser window is not wide enough on dxo.com.
Take a look and see if so is the case.
