Hi Darrell!
Thanks for sharing your workspace.
Cheers,
Steven.
Hi Edward,
Thanks for sharing!
Just a question:
What is the main reason that made you create a custom palette (“ED TOOL PALETTE1”)? Just having the tools you use the most? Getting rid of duplicated tools (like Exposure Compensation or Selective Tone which are both available in the “Essential Tools” as well as in the “Light” palettes (by default).
Cheers,
Steven.
I will chip in. I always use a custom tool palette so that I can have the tools I USE, where I want them. Allows optimisation of whatever monitor space you have.
One of the great strengths of DXO and C1 Pro which is my other raw converter. One of the criticisms I have seen on photo forums of DXO is that they “don’t like the cluttered UI” . Obviously when just doing a quick test of alternative software they miss the customisable options possibly because they don’t exist on their current software eg LR.

Thanks Ian! 
I haven’t been around for a while, but to answer the question, I made the workspace so it would pop up new work the same way every time. Convenience mostly. You may not see much in the difference of tools, etc., but that is an on-going task till I find just exactly what my workflow is. I do this on all my apps. It also saves the default from gettig corrupted. I hope that tells you what you wanted. Cheers!
Hi Edward,
Could you please share a screenshot of your workspace? You can post-it here or send it directly to me if you prefer.
Thanks!
Steven.
Never too late! Thanks!
Steven.
I’ve been checking a few things with DPL5 Elite as presented in the trial version:
DPL5 Elite All-In.dopworkspace.zip (1.9 KB)
While the test was about what is shown in a DPL Elite trial without FP and VP, I found this configuration to be quite informative and easy to use without much scrolling…on a 27in 5K screen
Left Sidebar with a meta-view on tools
- One palette with all the tools that can be loaded
- All tools collapsed except for the histogram
- One glance shows all active tools
Right Sidebar for tools at work
- adjust image with tools according to the selectors at the upper end of the sidebar
- No need to scroll
- Not all tools available though - unless the selector switches could be customised
→ Feature request, vote!
My trial version of PL5 expired and the system won’t allow me to install another copy. Is there a work around?
Greetings,
@jamhen2. Unfortunately, free trials don’t last forever. DxO provides a generous 30 day evaluation period. Maybe its time to buy it.
