DxO PhotoLab 10 Challenges Lightroom and Capture One With AI Masking and a Subscription-Free Edge

DxO PhotoLab 10 Arrives With AI Dust Removal and Smoother Affinity Workflow

DxO PhotoLab 10 is now available, bringing new tools designed to make photo editing faster, cleaner, and more efficient for photographers who want professional results with less manual work.

One of the biggest additions is AI-powered dust detection. This new feature can automatically identify and remove spots caused by dust on a camera sensor. For photographers who regularly shoot landscapes, studio images, product photos, or high-aperture scenes where dust marks are more visible, this could save a significant amount of editing time. Instead of manually searching for tiny blemishes across an image, PhotoLab 10 can detect problem areas and clean them up automatically.

DxO has also improved the workflow between PhotoLab 10 and Affinity. Users can now open photos in Affinity directly through a button and then automatically save the edited image back into DxO PhotoLab 10. This removes the extra steps of exporting an image, opening it in another application, saving it separately, and importing it again. The result is a more seamless editing process for photographers who use both apps in their creative workflow.

The update continues DxO’s focus on high-quality image processing, camera corrections, and lens optimization. Photographers can check DxO’s official compatibility list to see which cameras and lenses are supported in the latest version.

DxO PhotoLab 10 is available now for $249.99. Existing users with a PhotoLab 8 or PhotoLab 9 license can upgrade for $129.99. A 30-day free trial is also available for those who want to test the software before purchasing.

With smarter dust removal, improved app integration, and a more streamlined editing experience, DxO PhotoLab 10 aims to appeal to photographers looking for powerful photo editing software with advanced automation and professional-grade results.
