I would like to point out a few errors and offer some suggestions.
1: Critical Error—Adjusting the exposure; if the value is set too high, color banding will occur.
2. Added a stacking feature, allowing for the creation of composite images by importing multiple RAW files with varying exposures. (Note: Software such as Photoshop and Capture One has included this functionality for many years.)
3.When selecting a preset upon initial launch, the accompanying dialog box—specifically regarding the “DxO Standard” option—is severely misleading. The text suggests that “DxO Natural” produces images that appear more natural and are easier to edit, implying by contrast that “DxO Standard” merely offers an excessive, eye-catching color over-rendering.
4.The standard presets in DxO—as well as the default features and settings in PureRAW—are identical. However, I noticed that PureRAW’s default settings appear to differ from those in PhotoLab; this represents the first step toward truly enabling PhotoLab to replicate the functionality of PureRAW.
5.Added a feature to copy color adjustments from another image—a capability already implemented by Capture One. This allows you to activate the function while editing a RAW file, import a previously color-graded image (regardless of its photographic genre), and then apply that imported image’s specific color tonality to your current RAW file.
6.Added an option to the JPEG EXIF export settings to allow users to include only the camera brand, excluding the specific camera model.
7.Updates to presets should be more aligned with modern aesthetics. Currently, the majority of new presets seem to merely mimic vintage styles—a look that completely fails to resonate with the aesthetic sensibilities of today’s youth. I suggest updating the library to include presets inspired by Japanese portraiture and Western cinematic styles. Given that camera resolutions are constantly increasing, there is simply no longer any need to cling to imitations of bygone eras.
8.Could you add an AI model that accepts text prompts or identifies the subject of a photograph to suggest suitable presets? Since Nik and FilmPack contain such a vast number of presets, it can be difficult to select the most appropriate one.
9.PhotoLab lacks the preset annotations found in FilmPack; in FilmPack, the left sidebar displays the specific scenarios for which a given preset is suitable.
10.It seems that Nik’s HDR module doesn’t produce very good results.
11.Added a super-resolution feature—a capability that has been available in Photoshop for years.
12.Regarding the AI object removal feature—competitors’ software products have actually possessed this capability for years.
13.The added watermark feature allows for the display of EXIF metadata—specifically the camera brand and model, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and focal length. Many examples of this type of watermark can be found online.
14.Nik and PhotoLab are now more deeply integrated, enabling the entire editing workflow to be truly handled within a single software application.
15.The image properties displayed via the right-click context menu now indicate the RAW color depth as 12-bit, 14-bit, or 16-bit.
