Then you format your files for output as TIFF, DNG, or JPEG, and assign a destination folder. When you’re through making edits to your image, the next step is processing, where the corrections are applied.

I found it very helpful with interior real estate shots effectively recovering the bright, exterior landscape seen through windows that otherwise would have been blown out. The single-shot HDR feature does wonders for contrasty images, opening blocked shadows without creating noise, and recovering highlights while maintaining a realistic look. (This step is analogous to Lightroom’s Develop module.) As you make adjustments, you can create virtual copies.ĭxO’s luminance and chrominance noise reduction are particularly good at maintaining detail without softening the image. You can continue to manually adjust the image with a broad range of editing tools from basic white balance to DxO’s advanced precision multipoint color-correction tool. By pressing the D key, you can visually compare this corrected version with the original. Selecting a single image from the filmstrip lets you view it in the large preview window above the filmstrip. Next, you proceed to the customize step where you can preview the corrections from the presets you’ve chosen. Corrections will be applied to these images. DxO Optics Pro Elite 6.6 separates the process into a four-step workflow-select, customize, process, and view-with onscreen help to guide you through each step.įirst, you select images that are grouped into a project and appear in filmstrip fashion at the bottom of the interface. From the navigation window on the left side of the interface, you access your image folders from your hard drive. The current version doesn’t have a print feature but it lets you send processed images to Lightroom or Photoshop for printing.ĭxO’s customizable interface allows you to rearrange the palettes and create your own workspace. With each new version, DxO Optics Pro improves its integration with Photoshop and Lightroom, and you can send files on a roundtrip to either application for editing.

If by chance your equipment isn’t supported (the website lists supported equipment) or you just want to control the process, the software includes comprehensive manual adjustments.

Aside from these core corrections, DxO Optics Pro Elite lets you select from a list of additional presets to apply to one image or a batch of images for processing. I know of no other RAW processor that gives you this much of a timesaving head start for example, I found it especially effective in correcting lens distortion in architectural shots. It automatically applies the corrections and optimizes your image. When you select an image to work on, DxO Optics Pro Elite 6.6 recognizes the equipment used in shooting from the EXIF data. They find the inherent defects (such as barrel and pin cushioning, vignetting, chromatic aberration, fringing, noise, and much more) and then create precision algorithms that specifically correct for them. DxO Labs technicians test, measure, and analyze manufacturers’ DSLR camera sensors and lens combinations and group them in modules-there are presently more than 4,512 modules. It begins with a unique approach that gives you a big “leg up” on improving the quality of your images.
