• Distortion
• Chromatic aberrations
• Vignetting
• Blur (lack of perceived sharpness)

"DxO Optics Pro can be thought of as a 'software corrective lens' for your DSLR," explains Dr. Guichard, DO Labs’ Chief Scientist. "We have created objective, laboratory-grade precise mathematical models of each fault, and developed fully automatic algorithms to remedy them".

DxO Optics Pro benefits

Push optics and lenses to a new level of performance:

With DxO Optics Pro, even very high end lenses benefit from perceptible improvement in image quality. The best lenses become even better. Of course, images shot with mid-range or entry level lenses experience an even greater leap in quality.

Maximize performance under extreme conditions:

Using DxO Optics Pro, photographers are able to dramatically improve the performance of their lenses in critical aperture or focal settings. For example, it is now possible to shoot wide open and yet get tack-sharp images.

Easily integrates into workflow:

Because DxO Optics Pro is both automatic and fast, it will integrate seamlessly into a photographer's workflow. DxO Optics Pro correction will typically precede any other correction applied to the image in typical photo retouching software such as Adobe Photoshop.

DxO Optics Pro correction characteristics

• DxO Optics Pro corrections are objective and real, for they are calculated based on a physical characterization of the optical system. DxO Optics Pro image correction relies on a physical model called a DxO Profile, which is specific to each lens and camera model used.
• DxO Optics Pro corrections are fully automatic: no settings, no manual user intervention at any stage. This allows for seamless batch processing of images and will be a huge time saver for all photographers.
• DxO Optics corrections have a laboratory-grade precision: Each DxO profile benefits from DO Labs’ expertise in optical phenomena measurements. For example, distortion can be lowered below a residual 0.02%.
• DxO Optics Pro corrections operate locally, on each pixel: Optical flaws impact each point of the image differently – so DxO Optics Pro adapts the correction to each pixel in the image.
• DxO Optics Pro corrects complex faults: DxO Optics Pro can correct irregular, variable aberrations. For example, the correction of blur accounts for complex phenomena such as astigmatism.
• DxO Optics Pro automatically integrates relevant capture settings (i.e. aperture, focal length, focus distance, etc.): DxO Optics Pro uses EXIF data to fine tune the correction to the exact shooting conditions.
• DxO Optics Pro corrections are fast: With performances above 2 Mpixel/second (on a Pentium IV processor, once image is in memory), DxO Optics PRO can correct in seconds even large images produced by the highest quality DSLRs.
