DxO PhotoLab 3 adds another search criterion to make your workflow faster and more efficient: keywords. So far, the DxO Photo Library allowed search by metadata, shooting parameters, folders, etc.). You can make them visible, mask them, or adjust their opacity individually. It lets you manage local correction masks that have been layered within a single image. Local Adjustments palette also has some improvements in DxO PhotoLab 3. Feathering and opacity levels can also be adjusted in both modes. In addition, DxO PhotoLab 3 also offers Clone Mode which lets you directly replace the area you are editing.

It now lets you manually reposition the area in the source image that you want to use to reconstruct an area in the image you’re editing, which certainly gives you more control and precision. The Repair Tool, which erases unwanted elements from the image, has also been updated. The Saturation and Luminance sliders now operate more independently, offering you more flexibility for both editing colour images and converting them to black and white.


There’ also a new Uniformity setting which lets you adjust colour variations within a specific range. It lets you select a colour range from eight different channels, fine-tune the value, select a replacement colour, and adjust your transitions. It features a new colour adjustment mode based on a chromatic circle called the DxO ColourWheel. The HSL Tool offers unparalleled control, so you can get a more natural-looking colour. As I mentioned, the latest version focuses a lot on colour improvements.
