DxO PhotoLab 9 v9.6.0 (Build 631) Elite Edition for Windows

• Precision AI Masking Engine: Generate pixel-accurate subject selections in seconds via hover-and-click, bounding box drawing, or automated subject presets (Sky, People, Faces, Hair, Clothes).
• Localized DeepPRIME & Lens Sharpness: Apply neural noise reduction and lens softness corrections surgically to isolated mask areas (e.g., clearing shadow noise while preserving soft backgrounds).
• DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans (Official Release): Out-of-beta full compatibility for Fujifilm X-Trans sensors delivering high-ISO detail extraction and noise suppression.
• Smart U Point Hybrid Refinement: Combine neural AI masks with manual Control Points, Control Lines, Graduated ND Filters, and Brushes.
• Apple Ecosystem Support: Full native decode and tone mapping for Apple iPhone ProRAW, HEIC, and HEIF image formats.
• Automated Laboratory Optics Profiles: Over 100,000 custom camera-lens calibration modules to automatically fix distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting, and corner softness.
• Clean KpoJIuK Repack: Pre-activated silent installation package with included dependency runtime files.

Unrivaled RAW Conversion and Optical Correction
DxO PhotoLab 9 sets the benchmark for high-ISO RAW image development and optical calibration. Leveraging DxO’s laboratory-tested lens and sensor calibration modules, PhotoLab automatically eliminates optical distortions, chromatic fringing, and edge softness while maximizing dynamic range from clipped highlights and crushed shadows.

With the introduction of Version 9, the software bridges laboratory-grade processing with neural artificial intelligence. The new AI Masking engine integrates with DxO's classic U Point local adjustment workflow, letting photographers isolate complex subjects—such as fine hair, clothing, and background horizons—without tedious brushwork.

Targeted Noise Reduction and Fuji X-Trans Supremacy
Photographers are no longer restricted to global denoising passes. PhotoLab 9 allows localized DeepPRIME 3 and DeepPRIME XD3 application directly inside selective masks. Fujifilm users also benefit from the full production release of DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans, resolving fine patterns and high-ISO artifacts on X-Series cameras.

AI Masks & Local Adjustments:

• 3 Flexible Mask Creation Modes:
  • Hover & Click: Hover over any subject and click to auto-select contours.
  • Bounding Box: Draw a rough rectangle around an object for automatic contour isolation.
  • Predefined Subjects: Instant one-click masks for Sky, Background, People, Faces, Hair, and Clothing.
• Context-Aware Presets: Copy, paste, and batch-apply subject masks across multiple portrait poses or photo series.
• Sub-Mask Refinement: Add, subtract, or intersect AI selections using Control Points, Control Lines, and Graduated Filters.
• Localized DeepPRIME 3 & XD3: Target noise reduction and Lens Sharpness Optimization V2 to specific highlighted regions.

Workflow, Organization & Export:

• Advanced Batch Renaming: Token-based renaming engine leveraging EXIF, IPTC, shot dates, and customizable increment counters.
• Image Stacking: Visual grouping and stack organization for virtual copies and bracketed continuous bursts.
• Direct Project Palette Access: Switch between projects directly within the Customize editing tab.
• Comprehensive Output Engine: Multi-format one-click exports to TIFF, JPEG, DNG, and online social destinations.

Application Specifications:

• Supported Sensor Types: Bayer, Fujifilm X-Trans, Apple ProRAW, Monochrome.
• Supported File Formats:
  • Input: RAW, DNG, Apple ProRAW, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF (8/16-bit), JPEG.
  • Export: DNG (Linear RAW with optical corrections & DeepPRIME), TIFF, JPEG.
• Color Pipeline: DxO Wide Gamut color space with soft-proofing and custom ICC/DCP camera profiles.

Installation Steps:

1. Temporarily disable active antivirus shields to prevent false-positive blocks on the repack installer.
