While some may argue that those who want to be able to extensively edit their files should shoot in RAW, the real-world reality is different, many times.

With version 6.3, photographers now have the option to edit JPEG and TIFF files in the new color space, giving greater flexibility when editing files, and maximizing color capabilities. While DxO’s vast new working color space was designed to give photographers the ultimate color workflow for their RAW files, the company has decided to take things further. The important news now is that DxO Wide Gamut supports RGB image files. And if you want to try things yourself, there is a demo version of DxO PhotoLab you can download. I need some more time using the tools before I go ahead and write one article, but for now it’s important to share the news about this – let me say it again – free update. It was a sign of things to come, and now, some five months later, the free update that is DxO PhotoLab 6.3 is available to test, as it expands on what DxO Wide Gamut offers. While last October it was the DeepPRIME XD, an AI-powered RAW conversion technology that pushes the boundaries for noise reduction and detail enhancement that was the highlight of the update, the result of more than one year in development while the neural network teaching itself how to do its job better, other features were introduced, including a new color management system with an extended working color space. Now it is the time to say that the revolution continues, and is mostly silent, as the company surprises photographers, adding new features through an update that brings DxO PhotoLab to version 6.3. Last October, in one article under the title “DxO PhotoLab 6: the silent battle for noise reduction”, I wrote – and showed images – about the noise reduction tools in DxO’s photo editing software. Photographers can now simulate the ink and paper when soft proofing and benefit from the new DxO Wide Gamut options when editing JPEG and TIFF files in DxO PhotoLab 6.3.
