The gray boxes then demonstrate how each color space encompasses the gamut. The colored shape represents a gamut that reproduces an extensive range of colors - that of a popular professional photo print lab. To promote the addition of new file types to the workflow, DxO has now shared images that show how its Wide Gamut deals with color. ![]() “We’re proud of continuing to evolve color technology in our software that gives photographers confidence and precision in their work,” explained Product Manager Fabrizio Dei Tos. If I remember well, but Adobe Lightroom, initially – I made part of the people testing the original beta – only read RAW files and it was a surprise to us all when Adobe announced JPEGs could also be edited with the software. I must admit I never though about it, at least until DxO announced its Wide Gamut option is accepting JPEGs and TIFFs. Something else I also want to check is if it’s possible to convert my S22 Ultra DNG using Adobe DNG Converter (RAW DNG), so they open in DxO PhotoLab 6.3. While it’s less flexible, being able to open it in DxO PhotoLab 6.3 and its Wide Gamut is an exciting new option.Īs of now, I’ve confirmed that the JPEG files open, so I am good to go. Unless I use the JPEG captured along with the RAW. So, I am out of luck, at least for now, when it comes to photos from my smartphone. Let me clarify this a bit more for those interested: DxO PhotoLab also supports DNG format if the original RAW format is supported, BUT only as long as they have been generated by Adobe Lightroom or Adobe DNG Converter (RAW DNG) without any further corrections (RAW-DNG) and without compression. Let me give you a good and practical example: my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone, which I use for editorial work these days, saves RAW files in the DNG format, but because it’s a Samsung “recipe” I can not open them in DxO PhotoLab, which only accepts DNG files created natively by supported cameras found in DxO’s list of supported cameras and lenses. For a variety of reasons, a JPEG or TIFF may be all that’s available, so having the option to get the most out of that file is good news, IMHO. While some may argue that those who want to be able to extensively edit their files should shoot in RAW, the real-world reality is different, many times. With version 6.3, photographers now have the option to edit JPEG and TIFF files in the new color space, giving greater flexibility when editing files, and maximizing color capabilities. While DxO’s vast new working color space was designed to give photographers the ultimate color workflow for their RAW files, the company has decided to take things further. The important news now is that DxO Wide Gamut supports RGB image files. And if you want to try things yourself, there is a demo version of DxO PhotoLab you can download. I need some more time using the tools before I go ahead and write one article, but for now it’s important to share the news about this – let me say it again – free update. It was a sign of things to come, and now, some five months later, the free update that is DxO PhotoLab 6.3 is available to test, as it expands on what DxO Wide Gamut offers. While last October it was the DeepPRIME XD, an AI-powered RAW conversion technology that pushes the boundaries for noise reduction and detail enhancement that was the highlight of the update, the result of more than one year in development while the neural network teaching itself how to do its job better, other features were introduced, including a new color management system with an extended working color space. ![]() Now it is the time to say that the revolution continues, and is mostly silent, as the company surprises photographers, adding new features through an update that brings DxO PhotoLab to version 6.3. Last October, in one article under the title “DxO PhotoLab 6: the silent battle for noise reduction”, I wrote – and showed images – about the noise reduction tools in DxO’s photo editing software. ![]() ![]() Photographers can now simulate the ink and paper when soft proofing and benefit from the new DxO Wide Gamut options when editing JPEG and TIFF files in DxO PhotoLab 6.3.
