Quick switch to change color view of a photo to an black and white view

DxO PhotoLab Feature requests

Hello,

can you add a quick switch, where we can quick change the view of an color photo to the black and white view of this photo. I would be handy to have a fast way to see if a photo looks better in colour or B&W.

PS. I love DxO Photo Lab, it is a really easy and modern Photo Editing Software with a good level raw converter. I have more fun to work with it, as earlier with LR6. I am really interested how you will further develop this app and what new features you will implement.

BR,
Lonstar

You can use presets to do this.

There is, if you have Filmpack.
Tone filter B&W toggle off on.

Other way is a partial preset of HSL with white channel fully desaturated.

I use virtual copies for this, as I usually make numerous adjustments to a black and white conversion to get it the way I like before comparing it with the color version.
