French software maker DxO has released an update to its PhotoLab 3 image editing and organization application.
Version 3.1 brings keyword management, which already was available to Mac users, to Windows PCs. Users of the Microsoft OS can now add, delete and rename keywords that are assigned to one or a series of images simultaneously. In addition, keywords can be displayed associated with an image, including those imported from other XMP-compatible software packages. Keywords can also be added to multi-criteria searches.
The new version also adds support for a number of new cameras from several brands. Photographers shooting with the Canon EOS 90D, Canon EOS M6 Mark II, Canon EOS M200, Fujifilm GFX 100, Nikon Z50, Olympus E-M5 Mark III, Sony A6600 and the Sony A6100 can now all process their Raw files in DXO Photo Lab 3. There’s also preliminary support for the Sony A9 II.
A number of new lenses have been added to the database as well which now includes over 55,000 camera/lens combinations. These include the Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM, the Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM, the Fujinon GF 50mm F3.5 R LM WR, the Fujinon GF 110mm F2 R LM WR, the Nikkor Z 85mm F1.8 S, the Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 G, and the Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD for Sony FE.
The Essential Edition, as well as the more comprehensive Elite Edition of DxO PhotoLab 3.1, can now be downloaded from the DxO website for $ 100 and $ 150, respectively. For existing PhotoLab 3 users the upgrade is free.
