EXIF standardizes the information related to shooting photos by recording within the images well-defined data tags, such as the shutter speed, the width of the image in pixels, the serial number of the camera, and hundreds of other data points. EXIF: the EXchangeable Image File format protocol is defined by the JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry Development Association), which includes not only camera manufacturers, but also image processing application publishers (including those outside of Japan).These are official protocols adopted by the international image and publishing industry: In photo software in general, and in DxO PhotoLab in particular, you will find two types of metadata: EXIF and IPTC. The saving of metadata is automatic and executed in real time. They are also saved in the DxO PhotoLab database. Imo, the “Premium Bundle” is the way to go.Metadata is information or data that describes or is associated with other information or data, such as a keyword that describes a photo, shutter speed, geographic coordinates, etc.įor RAW files, this metadata is recorded in annex files, also called sidecars for RGB files metadata is stored in fields provided for this purpose within the file itself.

As for myself, I hope that DxO dropped the Essential editions of their products. Please add your ideas about why to (not) go for the Elite edition. JPG for Web, TIFF for printing (adds to why I’d go for Elite) Palettes: Create your own palettes, filtering favourite/active tools (adds to why I’d go for Elite).Preset: Edit existing presets, create partial presets (adds to why I’d go for Elite).(note that the contrast tool extensions come with FilmPack, not DPL Elite)Įase-of-use things you give up with the Essential edition of DPL4.Moiré (never needed to use this tool so far).Instant Watermarking (hardly ever used).Color Rendering: Additional profiles (adds to why I’d go for Elite).PRIME and DeepPRIME noise reduction (these alone almost justify getting the Elite edition).Bildschirmfoto um 12.54.19 3576×2830 860 KBĬustomising tools you give up with the Essential edition of DPL4
