PhotoLab 8 Elite is the latest version of DxO’s flagship photo-editing software. (There’s a less powerful Essentials edition for £129/$139.) It’s an interesting alternative to Lightroom and Capture One, with a little less emphasis on photo-organising and cataloguing tools and a lot more on high ‐quality RAW processing.
In fact, if you shoot RAW files to get the best possible quality from your camera, PhotoLab needs to be considered as among the best photo-editing software applications for the job.
