The Elite edition distinguishes itself with advanced creative tools and historical depth:

: Offers split toning, luminosity masking, and a "Time Warp" feature for aging photos.

: A unique mode that guides users through the history of photography, offering presets that replicate the look of specific eras alongside historical context.

: Includes tools for realistic grain, light leaks, textures, frames, and vintage vignettes.

: Rather than simple filters, DxO uses lab-grade measurements of original film response curves and grain structures to reconstruct the behavior of legendary stocks.
