When it comes to photo management, PhotoLab 6 doesn’t profess to offer the same catalogue and tagging systems as Adobe Lightroom and other applications, but what it does do is offer a non-destructive and easy-to-navigate way around your file directories, with a very easy-to-access and intuitive meta-tagging system that I actually preferred to other pieces of software out there, with clearly labelled areas to add contact information, content and status details.
I found it to be on par if not slightly easier to find my way around once I had a few hours under the skin of each tool. It’s nicely and intuitively laid out, providing the photographer with clearly indicated icons for cropping, image manipulation, post-processing effects and spot corrections that can be made on the fly. So far, so Lightroom, you might say, but there are some nice pieces of design I've seen in other programmes over the years that have made their way over the latest PhotoLab incarnation, including the ability to toggle on and off in a more obvious way specific pieces of image manipulation – clearly indicated by a switch button of each development section and a greyed out feature when a particular editing tool is not in use. Much like Adobe’s offering it is skinned in black and grey tones, offering a ‘dark mode’ type feel to the software which is easy on the eye and draws out individual tones in any image you might be editing.

They’ve been around since the early 2000s, and in 2004 Optics Pro was released, which offered high-level technology to correct lens defects and image distortion.
