[28] Version 6.0, launched on the 16 May 2023, notable for the introduction of U Point Control Lines,[29] was followed four months later by 6.3, the first release to be entirely authored by DxO since they acquired the code from Google,[30] with the same UI applied to all plugins.

Compatible with Apple Silicon, this version handles HiDPI monitors and multiscreening as well as automatically detecting Affinity Photo during installation.

Upgraded selection tools include polygon and elliptical U Points as well as a new luminosity masking option.
