If you've used the previous version, you'll feel right at home with Exposure X6. While some updating has taken place, its non-modal design and layout are much the same as those of Exposure X5, and most of the tools are still in the same locations, along with some new additions. So what's changed? The styling has been subtly improved with no more ps...
When I reviewed the X5 release, I found myself deeply impressed by its performance, but Exposure X6 is even better. It can now offload many tasks to your computer's graphics processor, and Exposure Software says that many editing operations have tripled in speed. Obviously, the performance gain will vary significantly depending on your GPU. Those o...
With that said, I compared Exposure X6 with its predecessor on my 2018-vintage Dell XPS 15 9570laptop running Windows 10 version 1909, processing the same 40-image, 1.3GB batch of Raws from 18 different camera models. Exposure X5 required at least 101 seconds to process the batch when relying solely on my laptop's 8th-gen Core i7-8750H processor. B...
One specific preview, though, felt significantly slower than before. Where noise reduction previews only took a second or so in X5, Exposure X6 can take several seconds after slider adjustments to display an NR preview on my hardware. That's likely because its underlying algorithms have grown much more complex. Exposure X6's noise reduction is now ...
If a camera is profiled, you can control color and luminance noise levels separately, and also separately adjust smoothing. (The smoothing slider can introduce some weird artifacts if pushed too far, so a soft touch is recommended.) If your camera isn't profiled or you choose to disable its profile, you'll get the same four brightness, detail, colo...
Also new for Exposure X6's 2020(v3) process version are updated algorithms underlying the highlight/shadow sliders and a new haze level slider. The updated highlight/shadow sliders don't differ radically from their predecessors, but work well and aim for more consistency and accuracy while minimizing color casts and hue shifts. Compared to Lightroo...
Another welcome change is the addition of more auto controls that help to put you in the ballpark with a minimum of fuss. You can now automatically set exposure, white balance, tone, dynamic contrast and haze level, either for single images or batches. Like Lightroom, a single click is enough to let the algorithms do their thing. But unlike Adobe's...
I found the auto controls to be pretty effective. Compared to their Lightroom equivalents, which default to a rather punchy, consumer-friendly look, Exposure X6 tended to have a softer touch that yields more realistic, lifelike results. My only real complaint is that while there's also a new exposure bias slider that will let you bias the auto algo...
One last significant change in Exposure X6 makes a feature that was introduced in the preceding version even more powerful than ever. The new Advanced Color Editor is a bit intimidating initially, as it looks even more complex than X5's equivalent 3D Color Masking tool. But the amount of control it gives you is very impressive. With just a few clic...
Exposure Software has also made a few more minor tweaks for version X6. Of these, I think the handiest is the ability to convert your Raw images to DNG without leaving the app. You'll still need Adobe's DNG converter software installed, as Exposure X6 relies on this to do the grunt work on its behalf. But you can now either convert individual image...

New masking tool that makes it easy to separate a subject from the background. Draw a rough border in just a few clicks to indicate the selected area and Exposure’s intelligent algorithm creates a precise mask. Selectable workspaces organize the panels needed for a particular task.
