I’m not sure if I am using my software correctly - I have bought:
- PhotoLab 4 Elite
- FilmPack 5 Elite
- Viewpoint 3
I normally open PL4 to do all my work. I now see I can open Viewpoint by itself, and see a very different menu.
My question is, can I do anything and everything that these three packages allow, from inside my PL4 program, of is there any reason, for example, that I might want to open Viewpoint instead of PL4?
Secondary question, when PL4 is running, is the way to see every possible thing I can do, to click on Workspaces at the top, and then select “DxO Advanced”? When I do that on a typical screen, lots of additional choices show up - is that the full list of additional choices?
Presumably, if I then click on the icon for “light”, “color”, “detail”, “geometry”, “local adjustments”, and “watermarks and effects”, what this is doing is breaking down the full list into six smaller lists.
Some of these have a “blue star” at the right, but not all. Is this the way I select those options I want to see in detail when I select the above list of icons, for example “light”?
The reason I’m asking this, is two years ago, when I had no idea what I was doing, I set this up, and have mostly been using it as-is, since then. So many people here are suggesting I use tools that I didn’t see on my screen - and apparently that’s because they never had gotten the “blue star” turned on, so they just didn’t show up.
I think later today I will search for a video or a recorded webinar on how one sets up PL4.
But the other question remains - will I ever want to open up the Viewpoint program directly, or are all those features going to be shown on my PL4 screen?
(Sorry if this sounds mixed up, but I’m even more mixed up…)
