DxO PhotoLab 6 / DeepPrime XD - speed?

[Digital Nigel]

Trying out the new DPXD today and I'm in agreement with everyone else - without being night or day, a very clear, consistent and demonstrable improvement in noise, detail, and indeed colour retrieval, especially as the photons plummet.

Just wondering - is anyone else finding it much slower? My current computer can process images with DeepPrime at 50Mpix from a Sony A1 in about 10-15 seconds. With XD it is more like 90-100 seconds!

Obviously brand new to PL6 so fiddling about with settings so very possibly something's not optimised. But interested to hear if anyone else is struggling similarly.

I have only just purchased Photolab 7 and its my first time using Photolab, it's replacing Luminar Neo and I am loving the results so far. What I have been doing is edit my first photo, then click on the export button to save that file and while it is processing that file, I open the next photo and edit that one and by the time I have finished the second photo, the first photo has been processed and saved. I then just repeat this process until finished.

Yes, that's how I use it. Remember that you can copy edit settings from one image to one or more others, so if you have a series of very similar shots, you can get one right, then copy its settings to the others.

Everyone works differently. I just process all my photos then select all and press export. By the time I've made my cup of tea the export is finished

Yes, that's how I use it. Remember that you can copy edit settings from one image to one or more others, so if you have a series of very similar shots, you can get one right, then copy its settings to the others.

In general, I agree with this approach. However, I don't think it works well if one does "Local Adjustments" in the first image that is saved as a Preset for the ensuing images. That is, although color and exposure may be the same in the following images, composition may have changed slightly and the Local Adjustments changes in the first image may not transfer to the same positions in the following images. Not sure if I made myself clear, but I'm sure we'll find out.

Saving a preset is not the same as copying parameters among files in a session.

With the copy feature, you can selectively copy only the parameters that you want to copy and deselect others such as local adjustments.

Or, you can create two types of presets - those that contain only global adjustments and those that contain only local adjustments - and apply any of them separately. But that only makes sense if you plan to use those parameters frequently outside of the current session.

Whichever way you choose ... yes, local adjustments might not produce the effect you want if you copy them from a different composition. That's just the nature of local adjustments.

No problem. Thanks for the helpful clarification.
