“So, creating unique tools is kind of difficult today because there is so much out there. So, I really appreciate what DxO has done here in the new Photo Lab 10 release. Like I mentioned, there's a lot of really cool masking tools and that's what got me excited about it.”

“In practice, I found it to be an improvement over Photolab 9, but it still has its moments—look here on this photo, you can see it when we switch to the black and white masks.”
