DxO Optics Pro 6 Elite Reviewed
"I was impressed with the software's performance and recommend it as a standalone program or integrated with Lightroom..."
"Users of new high ISO digital cameras will be able to shoot in even more challenging low light situations with the knowledge that Optics Pro 6 can automatically correct their images."
"DxO's Optics Pro 6 does a terrific job of correcting the problems inherent in specific camera bodies and lenses, and in automatically applying corrections for noise reduction and geometry."

"RAWs perfekt aufbereiten."
"DxO Optics Pro ist für mich derzeit der beste RAW-Konverter, den es gibt." "Neben der eigentlichen RAW-Umwandlung werden zahlreiche Optimierungen durchgeführt, die von Aufhellung von Schatten über die Rauschreduzierung bis hin zur Korrektur optischer Fehler reichen. DxO Optics Pro ist also weit mehr als nur ein RAW-Konverter."

"DxO Optics: Thinking Like a Photographer"
"I’ve been following that French software company for many years, and I have learned to respect the way they do things, specifically because they think about photography like photographers." "Optics Pro has one of the best noise reduction engines." " [...] I was pleased with the redesign of the interface in version 6; I am sure it will be much more accessible for non-experts."

"DxO has an extremely strong offering with version 6 of Optics Pro.[...] Many people have a difficult time adapting to a RAW workflow, and here DxO Optics Pro 6 helps out with a step by step guide."
"The noise handling is the best I've seen in any of the conversion programs, and the workflow is straight forward and intuitive. [...] The ability to correct for fringing and lens optical deficiencies is really stunning. "

"Die Software erleichtert die Arbeit eines Fotografen erheblich."
"Insbesondere die gespeicherte Kamera- und Objektivprofile sorgen für einen weitgehend automatischen Ablauf der Korrektur, in der nur selten eingegriffen werden muss. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit können auch umfangreiche Bildersammlung im Batch verarbeitet werden."

"DxO Optics Pro is software that perfectly and automatically [...] corrects lens distortion, improves lens sharpness as needed, and does the best job I've ever seen of automatically optimizing highlights and shadows."
"Not only does it do a perfect job of correcting the complex distortion of ultra-wide zooms, it creates perfect straightening of fisheye images, regardless of focused distance, and that was even in version 4 that I've been using.
Unlike other shadow and highlight programs (or Photoshop or Lightroom themselves), DxO magically knows how to apply just the right amount of whatever to get my photos to sing, automatically."

"RAW deathmatch – Lightroom 3 vs DXO 6 vs Capture One 5 vs Bibble 5"
"DXO is the unchallenged master in optical corrections. If you have a supported camera and lens, the precise corrections are great, and even if the lens is not recognized, you can still apply most of the corrections – sharpness falloff, light falloff, distortion corrections, even fish-eye corrections. The most impressive feature would be the keystoning, which lets you easily correct perspective distortions – a must-have for architectural shots." "In terms of features and quality over price, DXO 6 is an absolute steal."

“Although automatic corrections make Optics Pro stand out, there are plenty of options for manual fine tuning. I hope that [this review] will give you a taste for what Optics Pro aims to do and why it's different from your average RAW image processor.”

"With DxO Optics Pro [...] a photographer could shoot at a faster shutter speed or in dimmer conditions"
"Getting a one F-stop improvement means a photographer could use ISO 25,600 instead of holding the line at 12,800. Alternatively, for a camera such as Canon's G10 high-end compact that tops out at ISO 1,600, photographers can effectively shoot at ISO 3,200 by underexposing the image by a full stop then brightening it later in software."

"The program fine-tunes your digital photos based on the unique optical characteristics of the camera model and lens you used to take the shots,
removing excess noise and dust, correcting uneven perspective geometry and optical distortion, modestly adjusting exposure, correcting wacky color problems, and sharpening softly-focused photos--all automatically, at the click of a button, and incredibly well."
