But there is also a thing of the software I have to criticise: The user surface of the image correction software is indeed clear but there is really a need of getting used to it.The reputation of DxO PhotoLab was mainly due to its profiles for automatic and high-accuracy corrections based on camera bodies and camera lenses.

With DxO Optics Pro, I could manage to reduce the work that I normally had with a series of 500 images from several days to half a day, as due to the standard corrections a lot of laborious routine work can be saved.
While many colour corrections as the contrast- and the tonal value adaptation are nothing special, the geometry corrections in which the lense errors are corrected are sensational and have not been priced several times for nothing.

DxO Optics Pro outstands in the feature that in one project, hundreds or even thousands of images can be processed at once and that numerous correction adjustments for single images or complete batches of them can be transferred and that the actual processing automatically runs in the batch modus. Features as the artistic, brush strokes or levels tool are typical in the image processing programs. Due to the increase of the shadows in the gradiation curve of DxO I could better inscene the blue water of the pool and make appear the reflections on the wet plates in front of it.ĭxO Optics Pro is not an image processing program as Photoshop ® is but rather an image correction software. As I already described in the previous chapter under Step 3, to me, the night shots are always those pictures in which I intervene manually. As I did not take any tripod with me, I positioned the camera on a wall and supported it with my hands, so that due to the shakings a certain loss of sharpness occured. I have made this picture with a focal length of 17 mm and an exposure time of 3 s.

Manual correction of the tonal value, noise reduction, unsharp masking The third example shows an hotel building with a pool in front of it at night. In Photoshop ®, such an auto-correction of the tonal value is done by a single key combination DxO Optics Pro Elite accomplishes this correction with my standard corrections ( Step 2) fully automatically.
In case of such a photography, a classic correction of the tonal value is enough in order to brighten the ceiling in a bright blue colour and the trees in a natural green. And this is exactly the point in which DxO Optics Pro differs from a normal image processing software this is also the reason why I prefer to speak about an image processing- and image correction software. DxO Optics Pro knows these errors of the most usual digital cameras and lenses and can correct them automatically or in the user dialogue. The barrel or pincushion distortions in the horizintal or vertical edges, the appearing of fringings at the lines and edges of the images or the sensor noise of the digital camera with some high ISO-adjustments are further examples. As this example shows the effect of the vignetting, there are a lot of other errors that might be caused by a camera, a lense and/or a camera-lense combination. As a photographer, I also know this fact and my image correction software DxO Optics Pro Elite also does. But to the contrary, if I make a wide field photography with my Canon-lense EF 17-40mm with a focal length of 17mm, then I hardly get a vignetting, as on one hand, the lense is of a higher quality and on the other hand, my digital camera only uses an inner area of the lense (focal lenght exposure factor of 1,6), so the edges of the lense are not used.
