What is a .DOP file?
DOP is a DxO PhotoLab edit sidecar for a raw photo. Created by DxO PhotoLab.
- Did you know
- DxO PhotoLab is known for its strong lens corrections and noise reduction.
- A .dop is a non-destructive sidecar - it records DxO PhotoLab’s edits beside the original raw, leaving the photo untouched.
- DxO PhotoLab also writes a companion .xmp file so its metadata can be read by Lightroom and other software.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify camera RAW edit sidecars - Apple Photos adjustments (AAE), RawTherapee (PP3), Capture One (COS), DxO PhotoLab (DOP) and Nikon NX Studio (NKSC) - reading the applied-edit recipe, plus cinema and rare camera RAW: REDCODE (R3D), Blackmagic (BRAW), Canon Cinema RAW Light (CRM), ARRIRAW (ARI), Phantom CINE and FLIR thermal (FPF).
- Depth of analysis
- .DOP is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .DOP file
- Drag a .DOP file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
