I have DxO Optics Pro 9 Elite (the non-watered-down version)
The user manual sort of hints at the ability to do this, but fails dreadfully in any explanation as to how.
What I would like to do is rearrange the "Palettes" in the right margin of the "Customize" window.
Once I add my custom preset, there are only three or four palettes that I use and they are scattered all over, forcing me to constantly scroll up and down from one palette to the next.
I would like to have these most frequently used palettes all together and the remaining ones stacked underneath.
Does anyone know how to do this; or, is it even possible ?
>>> On EDIT: Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible; I figured out how to move whole groups of tools; but, what I want to do is move the individual tools.
What I want is to have "RAW-White Balance - Contrast - Selective Tone - Horizon/Perspective" one right below the next.
Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

BuckSkin, I am not familiar with this software. I found the tutorial below; see if it will help you. (It is written for v.10 but it may apply also to your version.) Customizing the DxO OpticsPro interface |

I use DXO PhotoLab 2 ( the newest version of DXO Optics) and you can create your own custom Palette and remove or add tools to any palette.  You can dock the palettes on either side of the screen, close or remove them not to mention adding or removing tools.  |

Thanks guys !
I finally figured out how to create a custom palette EXCEPT with one fatal flaw; I create my custom palette and it shows up with a box beneath that says "drag-drop your chosen tools here" or somesuch or other.
The problem is, no matter how I go about it, once I drag/drop the first tool, the little box closes and it will not accept any others.
I end up with a palette that only has a single tool.
What am I doing wrong ?

Hi Buckskin.
After you've dragged the first tool into you new palette you don't need the box anymore. Simply drag the 2nd tool you want down to the text of the first tool in your new palette. White lines will appear above and below that first tool text. Releasing your mouse button will place the 2nd tool below the first tool. Repeat the process as needed, for example drag the 3rd tool down to the text of the 2nd tool and release the mouse button, etc. etc.
This is how it works in DXO Photo Lab 2 Elite version. Hope it works the same way for you.

Hope it works the same way for you. Works the same way; Thank you ! Now...., I created my new custom palette and it made my life easier; then, I closed DxO; when I opened DxO again, my custom palette has disappeared. I must have missed a step in the creation; I have no idea where it went. |

Buckskin, custom user palettes in DXO are automatically saved but not automatically displayed afterwards (for some strange reason!). Try opening DXO, select the "Customize" module and then from the top menu options select "Palettes". Your custom palette should appear at the bottom of the drop down list but without a check mark to the immediate left of the palette name. Click in the space provided to add the check mark. Close DXO, re-open and then in Customize select the Palettes drop down list again. Your custom palette should appear with a check mark beside it. The custom palette itself should be displayed in the column on the right side of the screen.

For some weird reason or other, on this first machine, my custom palette has just disappeared with no evidence whatsoever that I had ever made it; it is nowhere to be found. I currently have DxO on two identical machines and I will start a batch on one machine, then go to the other machine to start another batch, getting twice as many files converted as I would with a single machine. While my custom palette had completely left the barn on the first machine, all I did on the second machine was to open DxO and right there in the right-side tool menu/list was my custom palette, right where I had left it, with no further involvement on my part. On the first machine, I just made the palette again. It will be interesting to see where it ends up at after I close DxO and open again. If it shows up under the palette menu, now I know to add the check mark. I gave this second creation of the palette a different name; I intend to dig into the hidden confines of DxO and see if my lost palette shows up somewhere. |
