This is an ambitious photo-editing program that makes it easy to view and manage your entire photo collection, while also adding filtering and keywords. Version 9 has very recently been announced. As well as all the standard image editing tools, there are improved masking and layering functions rather more interesting is the fact that 'Perfect Layers' can work as a plug-in for Lightroom. This enables you to edit layers in Lightroom, without having to open Photoshop proper. #DXO OPTICS PRO PRESETS SERIES#Īpart from this, the software struggles to stand out from Lightroom as an image organiser and from the Nik Collection as a series of plug ins, but it is still a decent-enough alternative.

The Basic version costs a very reasonable £60/$96, but to get it to work alongside Lightroom and other photo editors as a plug-in, you will need the Premium Edition, which costs a slightly less tempting £104/$168.Īs mentioned, the other option (apart from using software made by your camera maker) is to expand the capabilities of your current Adobe software by using third-party plug-ins and presets.

I personally think this is a more sensible approach, unless you are really are an Adobe refusenik. You can get both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop as part of a Creative Suite monthly subscription, and it is very reasonably priced combine these with some third-party presets and plug-ins, and you have pretty much all the editing power you need. When it comes to presets for Lightroom, I am a big fan of the film emulation packs made by VSCO and.

Of course, there is also a wide range of free image-editing programs available for Mac, Windows and Linux. There is no such thing as a free lunch, however, and you usually have to put up with ads or limited functionality.
