I can see that there have been a few posts regarding a stand alone version or use with anything other than Adobe. These discussions were last year does anyone know if there are any plans for it.
I’m leaving Adobe after 22 years of using it professionally, I dont like the way its going and I also get far better results from DXO PL. The only thing keeping me shackled to Adobe is NLP
Any updates would be really useful.
You might have missed @nate ‘s posts about his effort for a standalone version. ETA is not communicated yet, so don’t hold your breath.
As for DxO: PhotoLab has no provisions for third party plug-ins. There seems to be some development that might (or might not) point in the direction of negative conversion with FilmPack. Current implementations feel rather rudimentary as of now. Look around DxO’s forum for more comments. PhotoLab can easily be used for manual conversions without FilmPack - like any editor that can flip a tone curve. Run the trials and do your math … DxO software is expensive, specially if you upgrade on a yearly basis. Also read the posts about licensing- and support issues.
This is probably the most recent, and Autocrop is in beta-testing now:
Thank you, in FilmPack 8 there is an invert image which i am looking at but thats not available within DXO like all the other sliders are which is a shame
