Not only does it do a perfect job of correcting the complex distortion of ultra-wide zooms, it creates perfect straightening of fisheye images, regardless of focused distance, and that was even in version 4 that I've been using. The new version 6 of Optics Pro is out for WIndows, but the Mac version won't be out until 2010.ĭxO Optics Pro is software that perfectly and automatically (by reading the EXIF) corrects lens distortion, improves lens sharpness as needed, and does the best job I've ever seen of automatically optimizing highlights and shadows. I started using DxO at version 4 in 2007, as detailed farther below.Īs of November 2009, DxO has just released version 6 of DxO Optics Pro. Technically, it also can do a bang-up job of cleaning up high-ISO noise, again specifically corrected as measured in DXO's labs for your camera. It does this by reading the EXIF so it knows exactly what camera, lens and settings you used, and then uses the specific measurements DxO made in its laboratory to apply perfect correction to your image.īetter, it also improves the artistic aspects of color, highlight and shadow, when lighting gets too harsh. ( all modules) June 2010īuy from Adorama, Amazon, Ritz, B&H, Calumet and J&R.ĭxO Optics Pro is a program which automatically and completely corrects for lens distortion (even from fisheyes), color fringing and vignetting, and even corrects for unsharpness as needed. See much better photo examples at my Death Valley 2007 and Route 66 galleries. It helps me publish this site when you get yours from those links, too.

Try the free demo, then I'd get mine here (Elite) or here (Standard). Roll mouse-over to see after fully automatic distortion, vignetting and shadow lighting correction in DxO.
