Are the pictures the last kick ...

DxO Optics is in principle very versatile. Before buying one should nevertheless make it clear what expectations you have of the program - some of the features you get better and / or in other products for less money. Specifically: Who has the idea to fully edit individual images manually, will be satisfied, for example with Photoshop Elements for little more than half the price. However, if you want to serially (batch processing) and automated edit images and then even a camera / lens combination has, which is supported by DxO Optics Pro (to check this, there is a list on the manufacturer's website), is to the software have been thrilled. I am always amazed anew how significantly increases the quality after processing. Vignette is corrected, corrected distortion, chromatic aberration (color fringing, a real weak point example of S100) away, the exposure optimized etc. All this as I said in one operation! What exactly in the so-called. "Development" is done, can be set at will by the way and store them in so-called. "Presets". Before you can take in the preview the result of the development in inspection - particularly impressive to look at the before and after comparison.

In addition, DxO Optics Pro is a veritable RAW converter, and this in combination with the other options an attractive feature - in this way can be edited comprehensively starting from the raw images.

All those who do not know whether the program is fit for your needs, DxO makes the decision easy: It can be downloaded for a month a functionally unlimited trial, be installed and used. Exemplary!

Conclusion: I was totally convinced the program, I can recommend it unreservedly! Also, the upgrade from version 6 to 7 was worth it, since the image processing has been significantly accelerated.
