DxO has released the latest version of its presets application and has added the ability to work with Raw files. The company says it discovered most of its users shoot in Raw and want to be able to work with these files in its programs, so DxO has included PhotoLab 2.3 Essential edition in the package. The software features a direct button that converts and sends processed Raw files directly to Nik Collection 2.

Previously, Nik Collection was available only as a plug-in for Adobe products, but with this new update, users will also be able to remain completely in the DxO environment without having to use Lightroom or Photoshop.
There are 40 new presets in the Nik Collection 2, which have been labelled `En VogueŽ to reflect their modern and fashionable looks. The styles are spread across the Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, HDR Efex Pro and Analog Efex Pro modules, and bring the total number of presets to 196. The included PhotoLab 2.3 application adds Raw support for a range of new cameras, including the Canon EOS RP and Olympus OM-D E-M1 X, and has 500 new lens modules. In total there are 47,500 camera/lens combinations to work with.
The Nik Collection 2 is available now with special prices of $99.99 for new users and $59.99 for those upgrading until the end of June. From then new users will pay $149.99, and those upgrading will pay $79.99. For more information see the DxO website.
