DxO Labs
DxO Optics Pro is a unique application that automatically increases the quality of images taken with supported Digital SLRs and Bridge Cameras, whether in JPEG or RAW format.
What's New
Version 7.2:
- Supports 4 new cameras and allows importing of version 6 database.
- New version features greater stability.
- Both the Standard and Elite editions of version 7.2 support four additional cameras: the Canon Powershot S100, and the Panasonic GF3, Panasonic G1, Panasonic G2.
- The production rate of DxO Optics Modules is accelerating, thanks to the recent optimization of its calibration processes. This means that DxO Labs is now able to provide support for new cameras more quickly, all while consolidating its modules library by adding camera models already on the market - notably compact hybrids. Since January 1st, more than 250 camera/lens combinations have been added.
- This new version includes a tool that allows users to import all their projects and image processing information from DxO Optics Pro 6, and to integrate them into DxO Optics Pro 7 by merging both databases.
- This DxO Optics Pro update also includes greater general stability as well as giving users the ability to crop photos in a more intuitive way.

I'm giving this 4.5 stars only because it will take a while for me processing and rendering my pics, but make no mistake, if I had a new Mac loaded with the latest specs and ram, this would be the best 5 star rendering and processing software. Whatever software you use on raw files, you should definitely take advantage of the available month long trial.

Corrections are carried out according to your camera model and lens you were using to shoot the image.
Would like to see the processing speeded up a bit but you must also realise the depth of changes these adjustments make to a photo.
Would highly recommend to people who shoot mainly RAW image files.

DxO 6.x is stable, has a nice user interface, is reasonably quick (it does MORE than most raw converters around) and processes the pictures very, very well. Some results are extraordinary and it gives the impression you bought much better and more expensive lenses. The default settings provide already very good results, and the parameters can be tweaked at will The only aspect of the software which is not miles above the competition is noise reduction - but it is pretty good anyway.
They also changed the way the copy protection works, so that it is not intrusive in the operating system.
It is not cheap, but you get a TON of functionality for the price.
I cannot but recommend it.

- The only option to test it, is to buy it... bozos!
- No easy uninstall. Log in as root to delete this... virus.
- And now I've just read it installed a root kit on my computer :-(
This is not a pro software for photographers. A joke, a malaware.
Pro tools are the Canon suite, Photoshop, Lightroom, Noiseware, NoiseNinja, Alien Skin Exposure... not this lemon.

Just say no to software using things like the Interlok PACE rootkit and other such DRMs, this kind of crap.
As for DOP itself, it's not bad but not that good either considering the price and its downsides. Adobe Camera Raw as a RAW converter is very good, for those that are using Lightroom and/or PhotoShop, Noise Ninja for noise removal and PTLens for barrel distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting, and perspective correction are superior to DOP equivalent features.
All-in-all DOP main feature is perhaps its automation, but then again its automated results are sometimes very goofy (e.g. "over the top" saturation of colors), its user interface is clumsy and counterintuitive, the Mac port of the Windows version not following Apple's GUI guidelines, the software processing algorithms are themselves very slow - not to mention that the app itself is a RAM/CPU hog, and the number of supported lens per body is quite limited.
Unless DxO gets its act together and dramatically updates the v6, removes the rootkit and provides improved Mac OS X support - it still is not SL compatible at this time, even though they had ample time to use/test beta versions of SL; I won't upgrade.

Is DXO Snow Léopard ready ?
I have an Elite licence and can not install on my Mac..arghhhh !!!
When I asked the support days ago about this problem...answer SL is not yet supported.
Yes I know I will have to write to the support, and wait and wait to have an approximate answer...
Wish I had never bought this Expensive soft...

I use this application for time-lapse, primarily. This means loading 300-1500 images (usually only JPEGs) into the processing set-up window. After the last few OSX upgrades, the time to move the images into the pre-process que (for stacking) now takes about 20 minutes+ for 500 images. At 600+ images times ran into an hour or more. This is only half the problem. After running the first batch, if I try loading a set of images, Pro Elite fails. Throw away all plist files and reset permissions and I got one more batch to run. Then, crash on the next, and so on.
What gives? As it is - at least for people like me with a large batch to run - this is close to unusable.
Time to get this fixed!
And what's up with the lack of controls over the famous DxO lens softness. It seems...disabled...using JPEGs. This was one of DxO's best features.
I already bought the upgrade, so I am a "believer." However, I am starting to wonder if I made a mistake. As the last reviewer mentioned, version 4 was pretty solid. What gives? I hope the DxO gnomes are busy fixing all these -should-have-been-fixed-in-beta issues? H-E-L-P!
I am using an 8-processor Mac Pro with 16Gb of RAM and virtually unlimited hard drive space.
When I see some fixes I'll change my rating.

Any others in agreement, suggestions as to what I may have done incorrectly are welcome.
