About DxO PhotoLab 7
DxO PhotoLab 7 has rolled out some cool improvements and we’re super excited! They’ve enhanced three big areas:
- Color Calibration and Management – Making colors more accurate and vibrant!
- Local Correction Tools – Helping you fix and tweak specific parts of your photos!
- Black and White Management – Giving you more control over your grayscale photos!
Fun with Color in DxO PhotoLab 7
Color Calibration is just a fancy way of saying we make the colors on screens and cameras look as real as possible! It’s like making sure the green of the trees in your photos looks the same when you show it on your computer or print it out.
When we take pictures, we all agree that we want the colors to look just right when we’re fixing them up before showing them off. Some folks might already use a special color chart and tools to get the brightness and color just right.
And here’s where DxO PhotoLab 7 comes in with its cool new color tool! It lets us make sure the colors are spot on without any hassle. It uses color charts from Calibrite and Datacolor—big names in color—to make sure what we see on the screen is just what we get in the final picture, making our photos look awesome and real!
Movie-Style Colors with DxO PhotoLab 7
DxO PhotoLab 7 brings some cool movie tricks to photography! It introduces something called Look Up Tables (LUTs), with 17 starter presets by DxO. Think of LUTs as fun color filters that change the mood of your photo instantly, like adding a summer or retro vibe.
With LUTs in DxO PhotoLab 7, you can quickly try different styles and make your photos look amazing. It’s like having a color conversion tool; it changes the original colors from your camera into the cool colors you want for your final photo! It’s all about having fun with colors and creating photos that express your unique style!
Easy Photo Fixes with Local Correction Tools
DxO doesn’t just help with color—it also has cool tools for fixing up your photos in other ways!
With the new stuff in version 7, we photographers can easily use a handy color wheel to change little details in our photos, like the color of someone’s shirt. Making these small changes is super important when we edit photos to make them look just right. PhotoLab 7 makes this even simpler by putting all these tools in one easy-to-find place! This makes everything look neat and lets us see our photos better while we’re working on them, giving us more control with the U Point™ tool.

DxO vs Lightroom
DxO PhotoLab offers very advanced adjustment features while being easier to get started with than Lightroom. In fact, all it takes is opening your RAW file in DxO, and the software automatically makes a series of relevant and precise corrections. These automatic touch-ups are user-friendly, applicable, and adjustable for photographers who wish to delve deeper. So, it’s a mix of keeping things simple and giving you control, and that’s what makes DxO fun!
The smart folks at DxO are like photo wizards, fixing the little imperfections that cameras and lenses can sometimes create. They make sure your pictures are sharp and the colors are spot-on!
And guess what? DxO has some tools that you can find in Lightroom too, but they put their magic touch on them!

- Smart Lighting: for making sure every part of your picture gets the right amount of light.
