thanks. what is the way to get better color in DXO? many including me don't like DXO color. i use adobe color profile in PL. Also PL get the sunlight WB wrong in my A6500 RAW, color too cold (c1 got it right). basically i am not satisfied with PL in low ISO pics

I don't have issues with PhotoLab's color. I suspect it depends on what camera model you're using. In any case, for shots made under artificial light (I'm an event pro), I make a custom camera profile under actual working conditions with an X-rite ColorChecker Passport and apply that in PhotoLab. With my Sony A7(x) and Panasonic cameras, it boosts contrast and saturation and usually (but not always) renders better skin tones. I haven't noticed that Lightroom does any better, but I haven't carefully compared color rendition of the two apps. I use LR primarily for DAM, and I do all my RAW processing via PhotoLab.
