I would not recommend this software for what you are trying to do.It does have a local adjustment tab with several modules, PL1.2. I would not recommend this software for what you are trying to do. The also use the large Epson ink jet photo printers for large prints.

Costco tends to use the Fuji Frontier Chromogenic printers with Fuji Crystal Archive paper.

It does allow printer / paper profiles, so that will allow you to download the Costco Profiles from Dr圜reek Photo and use them. I would never print directly from it (but then I would never print directly from any raw convertor / parametric editor) it does not do local adjustments, which I find are essential to create a good print. I find it is a very good raw convertor, but the editing functionality is a bit cumbersome and convoluted and is targeted to the advanced user. It also has excellent lens profile correction capabilities, but these are not used at all for the mFT cameras like the GX8. So far as I can remember, the more expensive Elite version has this functionality, while the Essential version does not. The Prime noise reduction is excellent and that is primarily the only reason I use this software.

I can of course also use Affinity-produced TIFFs standalone, though not a seamlessly as with PL 2, but for web use the Affinity/PSE combination seems best at present.Jerry - I've used PhotoLab and its predecessor Optics Pro for over 10 years. The latest beta version of AP beats PSE into a cocked hat for lens correction. I know that using “proper” Photoshop would be the best solution, but if Affinity just sorted this issue it would be very good for my useage, especially for someone trying to keep costs down.
One day, hopefully, Serif will sort out the issues Affinity has with some of the Nik filters (bad colour rendering etc). At present I am doing most of my raw conversions in Affinity Photo, then (if using Nik) exporting an 8 bit TIFF to PSE where the Nik filters work fine, including the “Brush” feature (which is just a layer masking function). In view of this, although PL 2 looks attractive, it is certainly not something I really need. I have since learnt that hitting the “Nik Collection” button in PL 2 simply exports a TIFF to a standalone version of the Nik filter because, as you point out, PL 2 is essentially just a raw converter. I didn’t phrase my question very well, since I meant to say “when using the Nik filters from within DXO PhotoLab 2, the brush function is missing”, though I think you realised what I was trying to say. Using the output from Nik as a Photoshop layer gives me the control I need to get the most out of that tool. Nik is a plug in that has to run well in software other than Photo Lab, otherwise DxO would not sell a lot of copies. I don't find it a particularly strong editing tool and will do most of my edits in Photoshop, where the functionality for very fine edits is built in. I do use it when working on images with high noise as I have not found an better tool than it. Photo Lab is still very much a raw convertor with some limited local editing capabilities. The functionality you are looking at are part of an editing tool set and not necessarily something that one would expect a plug-in to deliver. Nik started off life as a Photoshop plug-in and it still serves that market well. JulianSo far as I have ever used the Nik Collection (and I've owned it for many years from the time that Nik was an independent company, before it was bought by Google and then later by DxO), that functionality has never been part of the software. The Nik plugins, including the brush feature, work fine with the latest PSE, so it seems odd that the feature doesn't seem to be available when using DXO Nik within a DXO product. I know that the Nik filters can be applied selectively using control points, but I find brushing in quite handy at times. I am currently trying out DXO PhotoLab 2 and as far as I can see the "Brush" button is missing (? -or am I just missing something obvious?).
