Thank you for your reviews. I always appreciate your advice even if I don’t follow it slavishly.
I keep trying photo-lab on trial but don’t seem to find it intuitive to use. I have used DxO Deep Prime for images with noise and also for images taken with cheap lenses. I have been using I’ve been using Capture One for years as its processing of my Fuji raw files was much better than lightroom. I’ve learned much from Paul Reiffer on You Tube.
Can you recommend someone similar for Photolab?
Also can Photolab be used on an iPad along with an attached SSD?

Even I don’t follow my advice slavishly, Trevor! Capture One is very good and I have worked with Paul Reiffer in the past and he is a terrific photographer and educator. I’m afraid I don’t know anyone similar for PhotoLab. PhotoLab is desktop software and there is no iPad version, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to do here – Rod.

I have looked at PL9 Elite (Complete, no new ViewPoint or FilmPack available, upgrade only for PL8 to PL9). The PL interface has new features, including “AI” (expert system or true neural network AI)? I will wait until DxO Black Friday 2025 price incentive to license and then expect a long learning curve.
