In regard to the AI functionality, it is very clear that you failed the test in comprehensive reading and let your emotions run wild once more. Should it (and proper keyboard shortcut functionality) have been done before exotic niche features like localized image warping? Hell yes! Should it be on the backlog and done… YES! Also there is not a lot of UI consistency between Windows and Mac, also bad. NOTE: on the Mac I think it’s worse, I actually much prefer the Windows UI which is square and has no rounded corners. That’s an observation, and it’s a verifiable one as well by anyone else. Of the 30+ apps I am using, PhotoLab just feels like one of the older ones (PureRaw, Viewpoint and Filmpack as well… there is also no consistency between all of those). Also the interface has barely progressed in the last 3-4 releases, also indicating that the design language and UI frameworks are stale. I don’t think the interface is very elegant. If I compare PhotoLab to Lightroom (Cloud), Capture One, Affinity Photo 2 and Pixelmator Photo, Resolve etc. Maybe your mind is like that, and you feel the need to project? If you’d like to do AI analysis of your photos, for heaven’s sake do it in a dedicated app. Getting on the AI bandwagon to slow down our RAW development software and waste oodles of disk space is an awful, awful idea. DxO has so many other pokers in the fire. Especially because a lot of people use DxO for processing and not for their full end-to-end editing workflow. Again, not to automate tagging but to make it easer to find stuff without any work form the user. See Excire, Final Cut Pro for implementations of this. find photos based on auto keywords (not written to image metadata), find photos with 1,2,3,4,5 people, group portraits… all based on basic image analysis. You always seem devoted to destroying PhotoLab to save it (“burn the village to save it”), Florian.ġ3 - Basic AI recognition should be there: e.g. The only downside is the very low contrast iin recent versions (has it been addressed in the latest PL5/PL6 versions?). The PhotoLab interface is elegant and very usable and highly customisable. Basic AI recognition should be there: e.g.Interface should be more customisable where to put what.Mac and Windows app have different look and feel (square vs rounded).General UI looks a bit outdated and is not clearly expressed like in other apps.Noise reduction should have parameters (e.g.No tokens for renaming (see CO for how it is done well) [NOTE: batch renaming in this app is totally worthless bare the simplest use cases).No keyboard shortcut editor (see FCP and CO for great examples).Keyboard shortcuts wildly inconsistent and not very functional.It’s that time of the year again, I am going to write-up all the things that annoy me about this lovely app (which overall is absolutely fantastic) and which I hope to see addressed in DxO PhotoLab 7 and beyond.
