DxO Optics Pro introduces
PRIME, a revolutionary noise reduction technology whose spectacular performance
produces detailed and vividly-colored images even under the most extreme
shooting conditions.
Based on DxO Labs' exclusive
approach of prior calibration of equipment in its laboratories, DxO Optics Pro
integrates many powerful tools for automatically processing RAW and JPEG
images: precise optical and geometric corrections, intelligent optimization of
exposure and contrast, preservation of colors and details. Its numerous presets
can be adapted to photographers' personal tastes and will help them bring out
the best in their photos in just a few clicks.
Breathtaking images, even at extremely high ISO
Thanks to PRIME
(Probabilistic Raw IMage Enhancement) denoising technology, which analyzes the
structure of RAW images in depth in order to differentiate between noise and
fine details, DxO Optics Pro offers a gain in image quality of up to one full
stop over the best noise reduction algorithms currently on the market.
"In contrast to the
usual approach of finding a better compromise between image quality and
execution speed, we have created a tool whose sole purpose is to obtain the
best image quality possible, "explained Frédéric Guichard, Chief
Scientific Officer of DxO Labs. "For each pixel, more than a thousand
neighboring pixels are analyzed. This vast exploration allows DxO Optics Pro to
identify similar data that can serve to reconstruct image information. Several
minutes may be required to do this, but this process takes place in the
background, so users can work on other images and projects while they wait for the
results."
PRIME technology results in
truly spectacular images: noise is suppressed, and textures, details, and color
saturation are preserved, particularly in shadows, for a beautifully natural
look.
For photographers who prefer
to denoise their images immediately, DxO Optics Pro still offers a
newly-improved high-quality "classic"denoising tool that produces
finely-detailed renderings quickly, even at the highest sensitivities.
Unrivaled highlight
management and color rendering
The exclusive DxO Smart
Lighting feature optimizes the overall contrast of an image by intelligently
adapting to its contents. This tool has been further improved in DxO Optics Pro
9, which now offers even more powerful highlight management: details that once
were thought lost are revealed, even when the information is missing in the
original RAW data, and colorimetric errors are minimized.
DxO Labs' highly precise
knowledge of the way each camera reproduces color allows DxO Optics Pro to
emulate the rendering of any camera on RAW images. DxO Optics Pro goes even
further by proposing a new color rendering called "DxO Portrait",
which preserves skin tones and naturally-saturated colors.
New visual presets
DxO Optics Pro library of
presets has been completely redesigned. Portrait, Landscape, Black & White,
Single-shot HDR: the new DxO presets respond to different use cases that
photographers frequently encounter, and are supplemented by
"Atmospheres", a new set of creative renderings.
A new visual presets window
makes it easier for users choose which preset to apply to their images by
letting them preview thumbnails of the rendering effects prior to application.
New export tools
DxO Optics Pro simplifies
its workflow by allowing photographers to go directly from customizing their
images to using and sharing them.
The "Export to
Disk" feature lets users generate and save JPEG, TIFF, and DNG images in
just a few clicks. The new "Export to Application" feature groups
into a single transaction both processing and opening images in an external
application, such as other DxO software products or other editors that
specialize in photo retouching, panoramic shots, HDR, and cataloguing. Finally,
the "Export to Flickr" feature adopts this same new approach, letting
users process and publish their photos directly online in just one step.
Even more comfortable and
productive
The DxO Optics Pro interface
has undergone another evolution, with a new workspace that highlights essential
correction tools, optimizes vertical space, and reorganizes toolbars and
palettes in an even more logical fashion. Further, it is now possible to access
context-sensitive help directly in the correction palettes.

WHAT'S NEW:
With this update, the Nikon
D5500, Canon PowerShot SX60 HS, and Olympus PEN E-PL7 benefit from DxO
OpticsPro’s 10’s numerous tailor-made corrections.
The DxO Optics Modules
library benefits from the addition of 422 new camera/lens combinations, thus
providing support for such lens manufacturers as Canon, Nikon, and Sony. It
also provides support for other third-party brand lenses such as Tamron,
Tokina, and Sigma for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Samsung, and
Sony cameras.
DxO OpticsPro v10.3’s tools
have been optimized both to simplify photographers’ workflow and to boost
productivity. A new search engine has been added to the Source Browser to help
users easily find and load any folder available on the operating system by
simply typing its name.
The OS X version also offers
a new drag-and-drop feature that allows photographers to directly open a folder
by dragging it into the Image Browser, providing quicker access to images. The
correction tools have been revisited, now adding greater finesse and ease to
DxO OpticsPro. The Horizon slider now makes small rotations easier to perform,
and the Dust tool is also easier to use.
