I paid for the Elite kit and have been extensively comparing the results from Filmpack5 to Photolab. As of now, it seems to be a cluster of random tools and sophistication that is begging for refinement. But who knows? I just hope they really start to make a game plan of how to tie-in some really powerful software tools to a consumer ready, workflow package. I fear the lack of in-depth tutorials, explanation of features and how they work, and lack of any real social media presence will lead to the conclusion that DXO won’t be around long. Honestly, there are some obvious workflow and features that are missing or half-hardheartedly applied which go against every other highly intelligent features of the program… which lend to the theory. Unless DXO is an organization built around the principle of masochism, my only educated guess is they are licencing software traits from Adobe, and part of the deal is they can’t make this program too amazing. Photolab has film emulation modules -yes- but they only apply a very unsophisticated color render of the film type selected and those emulation modules lack a lot of nuance details that are beautifully featured in Filmpack5… The very same nuances that actually make Filmpack5 so amazing are not present in Photolab.Įven though you can make a full edited emulation in Filmpack and save/export the edit out as a preset, the Filmpack5 preset will not work in Photolab. There is workflow from Filmpack5 to Lightroom (which I just don’t get) … But not to their own photo editing program. Filmpack5 is not installed or functional in Photolab, nor is there any direct workflow from Filmpack5 to Photolab.
