Photo Lab 3

Does anyone use Photo Lab 3?

Whats the verdict, have been using Dxo for just the normal photo stuff (non astro)

I've been using PL2 and now PL3 for around a year, mainly for daytime but also astro photo processing (later stages only). I really like the enhancement and noise reduction functions, particularly for DSLR images.

It's now my goto app for daytime images.

I would be using it only with my Nikon d5500 and mainly for daytime stuff. Im using Dxo ATM, so looks like an upgrade might be worth it

I use it extensively as the first step in my normal photography workflow. 
 

The in-built lens correction profiles are brilliant and I generally tweak colours with the colour wheel and play around with ClearView and the noise reduction. 
 

I then open the file up in LR and then PS most of the time but occasionally if I’m bulk processing raw files I just do the whole lot in DxO.
