DxO PhotoLab Elite 8.2.1 Build 487

DeepPRIME XD2s:
• Enhanced Denoising: Discover DeepPRIME XD2s for more powerful denoising. It delivers even greater detail and
ensures exceptionally smooth bokeh in your images.

Enhanced Tone Curve:
• Tone Picker: A new tone picker tool allows you to match a point on the curve to the corresponding part of an
image. By hovering over your image, you can see where a given tone lies on the curve. Clicking on a point in the
image creates a corresponding point on the curve, which you can then adjust precisely by dragging on the image.
• Luma Curve: A new «Luma» curve has been added, enabling you to adjust the brightness of your image without
affecting the colors. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the exposure and contrast while preserving the
original color integrity.
• Built-in Presets: The Tone Curve tool now includes built-in presets that use both RGB and Luma channels. These
presets provide quick starting points for common adjustments, helping you achieve desired effects more
efficiently.
• Custom Presets: You can now create, save, and manage custom Tone Curve presets. These presets can be saved
with specific settings for the RGB channels; individual Red, Green, and Blue channels; as well as the Luma
channel.
• Improved Usability: Several user interface enhancements have been made to improve the usability of the Tone
Curve tool, including more precise control over curve points, better visualization of adjustments, and a more
intuitive layout for accessing different curve options.

Hue Masks:
• Create local adjustment masks based on a specific hue within your image. Fine-tune the selected hue range and
its fall-off using the trapezoid control for more precise adjustments. The selection point automatically relocates
to the corresponding color position on the image for further refinement.

Improved Comparison Mode:
• New Options: Side-by-side, top/bottom, split view left/right, and split view top/bottom comparison modes.
• External References: Select external images as references with options for «no corrections» and known edits.

New Loupe tool:
• Real-Time Previews: The new Loupe tool allows you to preview the effects of denoising alongside all other edits
in real time. This makes it easier to see the impact of changes on your image without needing to zoom in and out
constantly.
• Detail Examination: With the Loupe tool, you can closely examine specific areas of your image to see fine
details, such as the effects of chromatic aberration correction, unsharp mask, and lens softness adjustments.
• Size Options: The Loupe tool offers two size options: large (742×448 px) and small (376×224 px). This flexibility
allows you to choose the best view for your workflow and screen size.

Correction preview on roll-over:
• DxO PhotoLab 8.0 introduces a new capability that allows you to preview the effects of dropdown menu
corrections directly in the viewer. When you hover over different options in dropdown menus, such as Smart
Lighting, Tone Curve, Color Rendering, LUTs, and Style Toning, the viewer displays the potential changes in real-
time.

FilmStrip Performance:
• Improvement: Enhanced loading performance for images in the FilmStrip.

Known Limitations:
• Please be aware that X-Trans RAW files are currently not supported by DeepPRIME XD2s; DeepPRIME XD will
be applied instead.

Bug Fixes and Improvements:
• Minor bug fixes and improvements.
