I got away from Lightroom for similar reasons. What I absolutely do not need is DAM functionality, imho the biggest advantage of PL compared to LR6 (that I switched from) is that I don’t need to import images to edit and develop them. Those would be features I would be willing to pay for. But I do hope for a clean integration of the Nik Collection (clean meaning no need to export and then continue working on tiffs, no overlaps with Film Pack…), RAW support for mobile phones, and a Pano stitching feature.
#Dxo photolab v1.1.2 upgrade
As long as it’s in its current state I will also not upgrade from PL1.2 Elite to PL2 as PL2 does not offer anything I would use. But I personally think a product should speak for itself and the customer’s personal cost/benefit-calculation should determine whether or not to buy a product. Supporting DXO is an understandable reason for upgrading.
#Dxo photolab v1.1.2 update
The first point update is likely to be before the end of the year, not much more than a month from now. This has been implied by Svetlana and we will have to wait to see if it materializes. I’m hoping and expecting that the point updates throughout the year will contain some functional updates and some new features. I am not hiding my head in the sand and I’ve considered alternatives if in fact they were to fail, but in the meantime I’m not going to abandon them. It was a small price to pay if I’m able to help sustain them. My upgrade to PL2 was a vote of support and faith for their efforts. There would be no future updates including bug fixes, new features, functional updates, new camera and lens information or support of any kind at all. I personally would be very upset if DXO were to leave the business. I believe the things that Photolab Elite does best, and are most important to me, are not matched by any other single piece of software. I can certainly understand your point of view, but let me share my take on the situation. Introduce something tangible for most users and I would be the first one to upgrade.
I understand they are obviously in need of income, and I could easily upgrade to help, but I really think they are taking the users for granted and providing very little in return. Interestingly, the "Version" setting for PL is "12.0".There is nothing new (for me at least) that would be a must in this new version. Of course, if you maintain strict separation of your directories this may not be a problem for you.Īs an added aside: If you look at the sidecar files with a text reader like Wordpad (Notepad expects CR-LF line endings, not just LF, so don't use that) you can read the settings stored there. Or maybe it is rebuilt, and the components needed by the newer version are lost.
I have not tried going downlevel, so I don't know if the sidecar files remain readable and usable by older versions after a newer version has modified it. Just remember, each newer version of OP (and now PL) updates the sidecar (.dop) files to its version level, even if you don't make any changes to the image, if the directory has been visited by it.
#Dxo photolab v1.1.2 pro
In the mean time I've decided to keep using Optics Pro as my main processor and just use PL when I need to make PL-specific adjustments to some images, and wait until PL is sorted out.
