it won’t require the latest system update all the time.

it will do whatever it does really, really well.

it will play well with others (compatibility).

I don’t expect a single piece of software to solve the meaning of life and serve coffee and take me to the moon and back. I don’t need or want a RAW processor which doesn’t play well with others. To do it really poorly with a database and no-cross application only takes a couple of years (see Apple Photos). Just the previewing and processing aspect of a DAM is a labour of years. I don’t need advanced IPTC templates so I passed on PhotoMechanic for now.

PhotoMechanic has twenty years of development history to get really good at IPTC templates. PhotoMechanic has much better keywording and IPTC editing than FRV (or PhotoLab will ever have) – if you need those features grab PhotoMechanic. PhotoMechanic and the other DAM choices are more in the $100 to $200 range.

Are you also aware that you can create sidecar files with all the edits for each image, which will reside with the original image file? That setting is also in Preferences. Since you didn’t know its a database and not a library, and that its location is listed at the bottom of the “Preferences/General” tab perhaps you are not ready to muck around with its location, which you can easily change in Preferences.Īdditionally are you aware that you can, and should, periodically backup up the database to a location of your choice under the menu option “File\DXO PhotoLab Database\Create a backup”, and that you can restore a saved backup to overwrite the active database as well? I back mine up to a separate folder under Documents on my Windows 10 machine which, in turn, gets backed up to three external backup drives every couple of days.

Can I move it anywhere I please?įirst, why is it a dumb place to keep it? It keeps it out of the hands of less knowledgeable users who could easily and inadvertently delete it, move it, rename it, or otherwise corrupt it. I think it’s a dumb place for the developers to have put it.
