Step-by-Step Guide

To make the most of the Moiré filter in DxO PhotoLab, follow this detailed step-by-step guide.

First, open the program and load the image you want to edit. Moiré effects often occur in fine structures, such as animal fur or delicate details. When you see your image in the overview, zoom in closer to identify the problems more clearly.

Once you have zoomed into the image, you will likely discover unsightly color artifacts. These are typically visible as green and red tones that cluster around fine structures. To address these artifacts, the Moiré filter is available.

You can find the Moiré filter in the detail palette of DxO PhotoLab. Expand the palette to access the various filters. It is noteworthy that there is only a single slider for the intensity of the filter.

The intensity slider is normally set to 100%. To ensure you achieve the best effect, activate the filter and observe the changes in your image.

With further zooming into the image, you can now recognize the effectiveness of the filter. Ideally, the image should look free of the distracting color areas, and the fine details should remain sharp and clear.

After applying the filter, you will be surprised at how pronounced the differences are. The effect is immediately visible. Regional green and red tones that previously disturbed the image have now been almost completely removed.

When you compare the image with and without the Moiré filter, you can see how quickly and efficiently this single slider improves the appearance of your images.
