There isn’t even a plug-in menu to use any third party plugins at all! But that doesn’t mean you’re locked out of all these tools - it just means you have to jump through a few more hoops. Unfortunately Adobe hasn’t yet opened up a plug-in architecture for Adobe Lightroom CC, which means there are no automated ways to move the RAW photo from Adobe Lightroom CC into DxO PhotoLab. If you’re a CC user, things get a little more complicated. Using the new ADOBE Lightroom CC and DxO PhotoLab 2 If you want to add it to the collection where you started from, just drag the photo from the DxO PhotoLab collection to wherever you want it.ĭxO PhotoLab puts your rendered image into a unique timestamped collection, making it easy to find back in Lightroom. However DxO PhotoLab actually creates a new timestamped collection with every export, making it very easy to find. If you’re using Collections, it’s just one more step, as the newly created file will not show up as a stacked photo in the collection where you started from. Back in Adobe Lightroom, this will automatically show up as a stacked image next to the original in the Folders view. That will let you choose the format of the exported file, which will automatically be rendered and saved in the same folder where the original RAW file is on your computer. When finished, click the export button in the bottom right corner and select Export to Adobe Lightroom. Select any photo in Adobe Lightroom, and from the File menu, choose File > Plug-in Extras > Transfer to DxO PhotoLab 2 (this is in stark contrast to the standard plug-in option, Photo > Edit In, which would render a TIF file and send that to an app or plug-in). The RAW file will be sent to DxO PhotoLab, where you can do whatever edits you want. Since DxO PhotoLab excels as a RAW converter, you want to send your RAW file to it. If you’re an Adobe Lightroom Classic user, then the workflow to get from Adobe Lightroom to DxO PhotoLab is well established - but let’s have a quick recap. Using Adobe Lightroom Classic and DxO PhotoLab 2 How you get your RAW file into DxO PhotoLab depends on which version of Adobe Lightroom you’re using.

But there will be times where you really want or need the tools provided by DxO PhotoLab, such as unique RAW converting, advanced noise removal with PRIME Noise Reduction, or the incredible DxO ClearView Plus tool.

I posted some videos from the Photoshop World Conference, including a quick recap of the week, over on my blog today if you’ve got a sec.As an Adobe Lightroom user, you have access to all kinds of great editing tools. It rocks! While it certainly was a great replacement for the Nik Collection when it died, Luminar has a LOT of features the Nik Collection doesn’t - plus they are constantly adding new features to Luminar and growing the plug-in’s capabilities very quickly, so it will remain an important tool in my bag of tricks (errrr, I mean my “plug-in arsonal”) right along with the Nik Collection. In case you’re wondering, “Scott, does this mean you’re going to stop using Luminar?” (you were going to ask that, right?), the answer is no - I’ll absolutely keep using Luminar.

Here are the download links (and there is a free 30-day free trial version). DxO isn’t a charity - their employees need to feed their families, too so I applaud DxO for what they did, and totally understand why they are charging for the update.

They didn’t “owe” anybody anything (though I think Google kinda did), so I give big props to DxO, and there is nothing wrong with them charging for the update to recoup their investment (it would have been wrong for Google to do so, but not for a third-party like DxO who basically came to the rescue).

Look, they did a great thing - they invested a ton of money in updating mountains of code, across a bunch of plug-ins, and brought a beloved plug-in back to working order for all the folks whose version of Google’s application no longer worked. This update is $49 (on their site, it looks like it will move up to $69 at some point).

Happy Friday, everybody! Just a quick heads up the fine folks at DxO have released an update for the Nik Collection - it’s the same Nik Collection as always (no new features), but now it actually works across all the new Adobe applications (including the most recent Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic updates), as well as the most recent Mac OS.
