DxO PhotoLab 6.3 adds DxO Wide Gamut support for RGB images and more accurate soft proofing

DxO has announced the latest PhotoLab 6.3 version of its popular photo editing software. The new update brings with it a new DxO Wide Gamut colour space, new soft proofing with paper and ink simulations, an easier way to install DxO Optics Modules for new camera and lens combinations you shoot with and a better cropping system for optically corrected images.
