The downside of turning everything into layers like in CO is that it probably will affect effiency and productivity like the one I talked about above. I don’t really know what people are dissapointed about is not in PL5 but I guess it’s about AI and smart auto masking or maybee like in Capture One being able to turn a color pick into a new layer or layer refining tracing. If I hadn´t have Photolab to fix these images I would have needed just to throw them away because before Photolab they were useless in my eyes. It took me two years to get thereĪs an example: I have taken some historically important images from the revolution in Afghanistan 1978 and just after the terrible genocide in Ugandas “Bush War” 1981-86 that was a prelude to the genocide in Rwanda (both Yoweri Museweni (prime minister in Uganda today) and Paul Kagame (prime minister of Rwanda today). I just reduce Microcontrast totally and meet up with Fine Contrast instead and the skies looks much better. My Agfa CT 18 and CT 21 films often get very harsh blue blotshy skies but Photolab Microcontrast is wonderful with these problems. Only sharpening at export is of any use but even more important are the three variants of contrast. Not all tools are working in practise with the RAW-images I get after repro and sharpening in the Photolab is one. That´s why I have given them a slight brown tone instead. I was so fed up with the poor quality of Lightrooms previews for many years that the ones in Photolab almost looked unreal.īut I have to say Photolab has given my most value when processing all these old dia images I have, where some has been in a really poor condition after 40-50 years in sub perfect storage often loosing the whole green channel. When we got Photolab with lens corrections, Prime and Deep Prime and Local Adjustments and later the Color Wheel there was no need to look back.

It was faster to get a decent result than CO, because it was so easy getting lost there among all the layers but Optics Pro lacked local adjustment tools at that time so I still had to use CO from time to time. After while I felt CO was a little too cumbersome and ineffective. It´s really competent and I first started to use it for tethering when taking repro photos of a lot of old positive color film slides.
When I left Lightroom I first went to Capture One.
