I did urge DxO Labs though to pursue a raw version. While this is worthwhile, I rarely shoot JPG, and so I didn’t find the program to be of much use in my own work. My big complaint when the program first appeared was that it only performed its magic on JPG files. It works remarkably well, and you can read more about it in my original review.
With Optics Pro what DxO Labs has done is to take the information generated by this system and use it to "reverse engineer" the undesirable characteristics of a particular camera / lens combination. It is also in use by the French magazine Chasseur D’Image, the American magazine Popular Photography, and numerous camera and lens manufacturers. This analytical tool is called DxO Analyzerand I have been using it to test cameras and lenses for the past couple of years. This includes distortion, lateral chromatic aberration, vignetting and lens softness.
This includes the sensor characteristics of a particular camera model, as well as those of a particular lens. _ The ConceptĭxO Labs has produced a technology for analyzing the flaws found in digital optical systems. My concentration here will be on its handling of raw files, since otherwise the program is much as I reviewed it last year, though with a somewhat different user interface. This review (March, 2005) is of the latest version of the program, which now supports raw files, and which has been updated in a number of other areas. If you have not read that review, and are interested in the new version, you might wish to do so before proceeding here. I found the program to produce technically superb results. In May of 2004 I reviewed DxO Optics Pro.
