It did mean that this review had to be delayed by a week though as I figured out how to do this on a 32bit version of Windows. I see from the DxO forum that there will be a version for 64bit Windows that works in 32bit compatibility mode, and they also mention that a native 64bit version will also be available soon though, so all is not bleak. I have to admit I regretted that last weekend when I sat down to start preparing for my review, as it turns out that although version 4.5 worked on 64bit Windows, version 5 does not, at this point in time. I started to understand how powerful the program is, but around that time I heard that they would be releasing version 5 later, and so I decided to wait for that to do my review and to also ensure that the grand prize winner got the latest version. OK, so I need to say from the start that I first started playing with DxOs Optics Pro with version 4.5 that I received from DxO labs a few months ago. Version5 which has only just been released incorporates a new generation RAW converter providing more details, and less noise artefacts, for a new level of image quality

Version 5 of DxO Optics Pro runs on Mac and Windows. Based on extensive analysis of cameras and lenses, this award-winning software enables photographers to improve hundreds of images very quickly, saving time and providing spectacular results. Here’s a message from DxO labs before we start the review.ĭxO Optics Pro sets the standard for automatic correction of your digital images. We should know the winner when voting closes on February 3 rd 2008, but for now, I hope I can wet your appetite for the prize with today’s Podcast. Today, I’m going to talk about DxO Optics Pro, version 5, and the DxO FilmPack, which DxO Labs have kindly made available to me to try out, and have also kindly agreed to provide a copy of these two great programs as a prize which will be awarded to the entrant with the most accumulated votes at the end of the current Assignment which on Long Exposure.
