Lost in DxO PhotoLab 9? Here's Exactly What to Do First!

Just downloaded the DxO PhotoLab 9 trial and stared at a screen full of panels wondering "...now what?" You're in exactly the right place. I'll show you how to organise your photos and workflow to suit you — calmly, one step at a time. In this DxO PhotoLab 9 tutorial I walk you through what you're actually looking at when the app opens for the first time: where your photos live, how to set up a simple, repeatable workflow, and the handful of things to do first so you never feel lost again. No jargon, no rush — just a steady "getting started" guide for photographers who'd rather explore more and carry less. If you've come over from Lightroom and you're wondering whether DxO PhotoLab can be your new home, this is the gentle on-ramp. Get your first 10 minutes right and the rest of the trial suddenly makes sense. 👉 FATHER'S DAY OFFER — ENDS THIS SUNDAY 28 JUNE: Download your free trial from https://www.dxo.com/ and use my exclusive discount code TOPG_FD26 for 20% discount (new customers only).
