DxO Optics Pro v3.5 Review at Northlight Images
Northlight Images have reviewed DxO Optics Pro v3.5.
“If you’ve just read some of my gripes, you may wonder why I choose to use DxO Optics Pro? One simple reason - image quality. The speed means that I’m unlikely to use it converting 300+ raw files from an event that I might have covered. Whilst it works on JPEGs from a camera as well, I always shoot RAW (some of my reasons). For individual images, where quality comes foremost, it is currently my raw converter of choice. With raw files from my 1Ds it handles partially burnt out highlights in a much more graceful way than Photoshop ACR. Much better for sunsets, and since I know that others have questioned the validity of this conclusion, I’d just say ‘Try it and see for yourself’ :-) I’ve used it extensively for my black and white landscape prints, where the ‘lighting engine’ helps provide colour images that convert very well to black and white.”
