Hence you should backup and secure or copy the PL5 database to somewhere safe so that it can be reused with PL5 if required. If you have a decent backup, you can always revert to an older version of DPL, at least if you’re working with a I suspect its the same with DxPL(Mac) as it is with DxPL(Win) but you cannot open (or guarantee to open) anything other than a PL5 (or earlier) database in PL5. to make sure they are as you expected they are not held in the database and are upgraded in a separate element of the upgrade process! PS:- Check the ‘Preferences’, ‘export options’ etc.
Dxo photolab 2 presets update#
dump the database, set up a trial directory to “play with” and load PL6 software and open the product but try to stay within a trial group until you are “happy” before starting to update previous edits because the DOP will move to PL6 format and cannot be taken back to a previous release! If you want to continue to be able to use PL5 then once upgraded a DOP cannot be carried back to the earlier release, neither can any new presets created in PL6 and neither can the database etc…

The database is upgraded, the presets are taken from their PL5 “hideout” and recreated in their “shiny” new PL6 “hideout” but please remember it is essentially a one way process from an old release (including DOPs from any number of previous releases). As a Win10 user the PL5 to PL6 upgrade went as it should, the same cannot be said for PL4 to PL5 but that is history and hopefully will no be repeated!
