Automatic and tailored corrections
DxO Optics Pro automatically corrects and improves your photos as you open them. Corrections are precisely tailored to your images by taking into account the camera and lens you used. Our thorough knowledge of your equipment allows DxO Optics Pro to provide you with the best tools and the most precise settings for unparalleled sharpness and beauty in your photos
Rigorous optical corrections
DxO Optics Pro corrects precisely and with an unrivaled level of quality all the optical flaws in your images (RAW and JPEG) such as distortion, vignetting, and chromatic aberrations. DxO’s totally unique library of thousands of DxO Optics Modules precisely fits each correction to every single image. Generated using an exclusive calibration process for each combination of cameras and lenses, DxO Optics Modules contain tens of thousands of data about the intrinsic flaws of each camera and lens. A DxO Labs exclusive.
Lens softness
With its exclusive Lens softness tool, DxO Optics Pro automatically sharpens photos (RAW and JPG). Image sharpness is improved and homogenized from the center to the photo edges. The results are even more dramatic with RAW-format photos. Local-content photo analysis technology offers you flawless images, even when pushing settings to the max. DxO Optics Pro also preserves the bokeh, avoiding artifacts that can appear in homogenous or deliberately out-of-focus zones.
Light and contrast optimization
Restore the ideal balance between the dark and light zones in your images. New, exclusive DxO Smart Lighting intelligently reveals your photos details under different lighting conditions, including under- or overexposure. Light and contrast are locally as well as globally optimized for a perfect rendering. Set your hand on a unique intensity slider to globally refine final rendering and make subtle improvements. Want to go further? Use the Selective Tone tool to precisely and separately handle highlights, midtones, and shadows.
The HDR mono-image tool provides the final touch, revealing tons of details in burnt or dark zones.
Exceptional denoising
Give up your flash with DxO Optics Pro! Restore the full emotional impact of your night shots and obtain detailed textures with incomparable colors. Based on meticulous calibration in our laboratories, DxO Optics Pro’s unsurpassed denoising tool has been designed to support all cameras, including yours, thus automatically eliminating the digital noise from all your images.
RAW conversion
DxO Optics Pro provides you with incomparable image quality, thanks to its RAW converter based on careful and thorough characterization of cameras just like yours. Optimized for RAW format, DxO Optics Pro provides extremely fine adjustments to your photos in a non-destructive manner. Master your image rendering by precisely adjusting white balance, details, and colors in your photos. Save your settings as custom presets to easily apply them to batches of images later.
Color management
Restore the brilliant colors of your images thanks to DxO Optics Pro’s powerful correction tools. Take control of the sliders and let your creativity loose when adjusting white balance, vibrancy, tonal curves, protection of saturated colors, and multi-point balance (Mac only). You can even change the color rendering by choosing to apply that of an entirely different camera. The creative possibilities are endless! A DxO Labs exclusive.
Geometrical corrections
Fix the perspective and straighten the horizons in your compositions while preserving the natural volume and shapes of your subjects. Simple visual guides help you take advantage of the full power of these extremely practical tools. A DxO Labs exclusive, the volume anamorphosis correction restores a natural look to the shapes and proportions of subjects located at the edges of images deformed by the use of wide-angle lenses, all while preserving the realistic reproduction of the scene as a whole.
Interface and use
Organize: Select an image folder or create a project containing photos from different file sources. The default preset is applied automatically: you can simply preview corrections and start processing with ease.
Customize: Apply a preset or manipulate any of the numerous correction sliders in the settings palettes. DxO Optics Pro is adapted to your level of experience with two built-in workspaces – First steps and Advanced user – to help you achieve improved image quality.
Process: Develop your image or launch batch processing while continuing to customize other images.
Dust removal
Remove the lens or sensor dust specks on your photos. Imperfections can sometimes appear on your camera sensor or lens and ruin an entire series of photos. With DxO Optics Pro, save your anti-dust corrections and apply them to an entire batch of images. The specks will disappear from all your photos in just one click. You can also use the anti-dust tool to remove undesirable elements from your photos, such as an antenna or a power line. DxO Optics Pro removes these interlopers by reconstructing the background of your image, allowing you to fully enjoy your photo
