#DXO PHOTOLAB FREE PRESETS PRO#

The Street series for Silver Efex Pro takes an approach, says the company, that is poised between “classicism and modernism by playing up contrasts, grain, and tints simultaneously.” The “High Contrast” within the Street series preset recreates a classic street photography look by producing dense blacks and stark whites. Nik 2 includes some presets (I think about 40) and provides a free copy PL2 to allow use of Nik with RAW files for people who dont have/want to get involved with Adobe LR or PS. The High Key Bright preset, for example, brings out the whites and brightness in color portraits, while Hint of Color, says the company, creates “a more dramatic look that nonetheless remains soft through the addition of a color tint.” On the flip side, the Hollywood Glamour preset for Classic Portrait Black and White produces images with high contrast but controlled darker tones the Rugged preset provides a more nostalgic, film-like, fine grain look. The first ten presets categorized under “Classic Portrait Color” for both Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro include fun and intuitive naming conventions such as “High Key Bright”, “Hint of Color”, “Hollywood Glamour” and “Rugged” to name just a few. (This collection’s update is also compatible with macOS Big Sur and the 2021 versions of Adobe’s host applications.) The series are: Classic Portrait Color, Classic Portrait Black & White, Light & Bright, Wildlife, and Street. It imports and shows as an option in the Presets panel.

The new presets are divided into five series, each with five presets, that focus on five photo genres which Nik says are the most popular among both expert and amateur photographers. The one you want is the version in the folder labelled 'DxO Optics Pro + DxO FilmPack'. Its AI-powered denoising and demosaicing technology works by intelligently scanning photographs and making smart adjustments to images without any extra input from the user for fast cleaning up of noisy images, or shots where moire patterns and mosaicing is an issue (such as in clothing).To celebrate 25 years of great success creating popular plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and DxO PhotoLab, Nik software just released an update to its current Nik Collection 3.0 with this anniversary edition, Version 3.3, which includes a pack of 25 new presets for Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro. There is a small selection of ready-made presets but more can be installed and added whether they’ve been downloaded from elsewhere or custom made by the user within the program.Īs well as the above, PhotoLab 4 does a great job of editing raw and compressed image files (such as JPEG). In a bid to speed up workflow, PhotoLab 4 also offers a selection of in-built presets accessed via the Apply Preset button in the top-right of the window. Projects are a useful way of categorizing images within the software itself, without changing how the images are stored on the storage device.

It’s also possible to make custom folders read by PhotoLab 4 called Projects.

With DxO PhotoLab, we can edit one or more images simultaneously. The first way to edit an image in DxO PhotoLab is by using Presets. On the left is a drop-down list of locally stored files (which also works with removable drives) from which to make image selections. DxO PhotoLab’s correction tools are grouped into boxes depending on the type of adjustment you want to apply. Photo management is relatively straightforward thanks to the PhotoLibrary mode.
