The first thing that becomes abundantly clear the moment you step on DxO PhotoLab 8’s turf is that you’re genuinely engaged and focused on your task: You work methodically to make the image the best it can be. You’re not entering a funhouse filled with whimsical illusions and seemingly magical transformations. You’re here to do a job. And that’s serious business.
Not that PhotoLab 8 isn’t fun to use. It is, but only up to a point. This Raw image editor takes itself very seriously – and for good reason. That’s because it has earned the right to do so. It comes replete with all the necessary tools to deliver a photograph you can proudly display, publish or gift.
And let me tell you: it’s mesmerizing. I can’t pull myself away from the computer. Fact is, I'm constantly drawn back and keep finding more and more images to edit. And sometimes it's just to revisit an image and fine-tune the edits already done. It's challenging. And, yes, it's fun.
